Identifying the health care system benefits of housing with care

The Housing Learning and Improvement Network (Housing LIN) and Southampton City Council have published the results of a study that highlights the health care system benefits of housing with care.

The study found benefits ranging from improvements to residents’ quality of life, reductions in the use of health services and associated resources, and significant cost-benefits for the health system from the use of housing with care services.

The research focuses on Southampton, however the findings will be of interest to planners and commissioners of services across the UK.
