00:25:22 Sally Taylor-Ridgway | Housing LIN: Retirement Housing Whitepaper https://www.shma.co.uk/our-thoughts/retirement-housing-whitepaper/ Moving On - Could later living be the answer to the housing crisis? https://www.shma.co.uk/our-thoughts/moving-on-report/ 00:35:15 Sally Taylor-Ridgway | Housing LIN: Call for evidence: https://www.housinglin.org.uk/News/Older-Peoples-Housing-Taskforce-A-progress-update/ 00:37:09 Brian: Curious if mixed age projects developed that are not profit driven? 00:38:03 Jerome Billeter | Housing LIN: Just a kind reminder: if you have a question, please post it in the Q&A box. Thank you! 00:47:55 Elaine Hollerhead: I really feel strongly that those of us working in this field should stop referring to 'old and ' 'older people' (this teminology gets shortend to 'old'. Let's instead start referring to 'later life'!! 00:48:23 Elaine Hollerhead: Also when referring to adaptations - these are generally NHS issue and are pretty ugly! This age group are becoming increasingly aspirational so will demand more aesthetic aternatives! 00:49:39 Guy Harris: Savills did some research at least seven years ago now, but which is totally current, stating that older people don’t downsize because we’re not building aspirational and accessible homes. Government policy has studiously avoided doing so over many decades. Hence our need now to segregate people into older years living. Each time I see this topic presented, it meets resistence. Are we giving up on building resilient communities? Alas, volume house builders don’t need to do this, as they can take the profit and pass the buck! Lots going on in housing right now and certainly an interesting time! 00:58:06 Janet Sutherland: I have recently done research with 7,500 u3a members (previously University of the Third Age), right across the country. They are mostly 60- 80 years old. 37% have already downsized, 44% intend to stay in their current home for now, but may need to move later, 00:59:49 Jerome Billeter | Housing LIN: Find out more about HAPPI and it's ten Principles at: https://www.housinglin.org.uk/HAPPI/ 01:01:51 Sally Taylor-Ridgway | Housing LIN: Find out more about Mario Ambrosi as the Chair of Housing and Ageing Alliance https://www.housinglin.org.uk/News/Mario-Ambrosi-appointed-Chair-of-Housing-and-Ageing-Alliance/ 01:05:05 Janet Sutherland: u3a research of 7,500 responses continued,: 27% plan to make changes so they can stay in their homes, and many have already made changes. 75% wish to remain in a multi generational setting and 25% with older people; 20% are interested in retirement housing, and 14% are interested in co-housing/co-operative housing (almost half each for older people or multi generational. 94% of respondents are homeowners and 46% of respondents live alone. 01:17:36 Philip Littlehales: HAVE A LOOK AT THE NEW BELONG scheme in Chester. It has a care home, assisted living and a 25 place early years nursery. it is delightful and integrating young children with older people 01:21:46 Jerome Billeter | Housing LIN: If you want to discuss any points raised today or have unanswered questions, please do not hesitate to email us at info@housinglin.org.uk 01:24:04 Sheila Peace: Sheila Peace - The size of the site may lead the developers to have a care home on site and so moving within the site can also be an issue. This can be an issue for some people. 01:24:30 duncan.may: Does the panel have any ideas to incentivise people to right size . As a LA we cannot afford to spend lots on new white goods or furniture? 01:25:46 Emma Houghton: Hi Duncan, we do have some data on this in our retirement housing report https://www.shma.co.uk/our-thoughts/retirement-housing-whitepaper/ 01:26:27 Jerome Billeter | Housing LIN: Thanks for joining today’s HAPPI Hour webinar!
