Abstract:	This article outlines reasons why it is vital that housing, health and adult social care work together with planners in the fast-moving agenda on older people's housing. Effective partnership working will provide significant benefits for older people, manifested in development of a range of innovative, well-planned and well-designed housing that is future-proofed and affordable, to enable older people to continue to live independently in the community for as long as possible.
