Homes for our old age - Independent living by design

16/09/09

This Housing LIN Report was published jointly with CABE. It contains ten case studies; nine on extra care and one on adapted general needs housing. It describes main design features, draws out lessons learned about what contributes to people's independence and describes what residents like and dislike about the designs.
