Older People: Health
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has visited an Integrated Retirement Community; and what assessment he has made of the potential impact of modern housing-with-care schemes on older people's health.
- Answer
-
We recognise the role integrated retirement communities play in providing high quality, safe, and suitable homes which can help people stay independent and healthy for longer and which reduce the need to draw on health and social care provision.
We have not made an assessment on the impact this specific type of housing provision has on older people’s health, but the Government is committed to enhancing the provision and choice for older people in the housing market.
My Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, has not undertaken a visit to an integrated retirement community to date.
