“…These mechanisms are thought to be part of the reason for the reduced propensity of residents of extra care housing to enter institutional accommodation. Given that institutional accommodation can be considered unpopular and expensive (Wright et al, 2010), the evidence presented here suggests that extra care housing presents an alternative housing option to those who wish to avoid residence in institutional accommodation, and in particular to those aged 75 years and older in receipt of social care services in their own home. The circumvention of institutional accommodation can also have substantial fiscal implications for policymakers.…”

“…Allied terms also include very sheltered housing, care plus housing, assisted living housing, and category 2.5 housing (Wright et al, 2010). Extra care housing is ergonomically designed independent housing units that usually feature common spaces, facilities, and care services.…”

“…Hanson, Wojgani, Mayagoitia-Hill, Tinker, and Wright (2006) discovered some unanimity among planners and providers in terms of the three elements critical in extra care housing: flexible care, self-contained dwellings, and homeliness. Some suggest that the main roles of extra care housing are to help older people maintain their independence for longer and to provide an alternative to residential or institutional care (which is potentially more expensive and less popular) (Riseborough & Fletcher, 2008;Wright et al, 2010). However, a recurring debate within the extra care housing literature is whether extra care housing should be considered a home for life (Croucher, Hicks, & Jackson, 2006 instance where extra care housing did not constitute a home for life would be where a resident moved to an institutional care setting because their care needs could not be met in extra care housing.…”

“…There has been a dearth of qualitative longitudinal studies focusing on care workers and care managers in extra care housing. Previous studies have, however, identified care workers as having low status in material terms and problems of staff turnover and quality have been reported (Bernard et al, 2004, p. 54;Skills for Care, 2007;Garwood, 2010;Wright et al, 2010). Yet, all staff "have a valuable role to play in setting the tone and ethos of a scheme" (Croucher and Bevan, 2012, p. 6).…”

“…The issue of developments over time of the ageing population in housing with care is reflected in the debate about the balance between low, medium and high levels of cognitive impairment or what proportion might exhibit no signs of such impairment (Wright et al, 2010;Baker, 2002quoted in Croucher et al, 2006. How can this balance be sustained over time and with what implications for residents?…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to review the recent literature on housing with care in England where a longitudinal approach has been adopted and to identify possible new research projects that focus on gaps in the existing literature. Design/methodology/approach -The review of the relevant research literature draws in part on an earlier overview of the broader literature on housing with care, part of an NIHR School for Social Care Research project, Adult Social Services Environments and Settings (ASSET). Findings -The literature review suggests that the findings from longitudinal studies on housing with care in England have usually been based on administrative sources (such as assessments) rather than the primary focus being on the voice of residents and frontline staff. It is therefore suggested that further studies are required to reflect the views of everyday life in housing with care settings. Research limitations/implications -This literature review and the longitudinal qualitative framework for undertaking further inquiry forms the basis for a major bid for funds from the NIHR School for Social Care Research. This is a collaborative endeavour between the University of Bristol's School for Policy Studies, the Association for Dementia Studies at the University of Worcester, the Personal Social Services Research Unit at the University of Kent and the Housing and Learning Improvement Network. The limitations of this paper reflect the paucity of past investigations on the contribution of social care to the quality of life of elderly residents in extra care housing. Practical implications -As noted above, the reviews of this draft paper have helped to determine the form of the bid for research funds. Informal discussions with commissioners and providers of extra care housing for older people indicate that access for fieldwork along the lines proposed should not prove to be a major barrier. One of the important implications is to add to the weight of evidence about ...
