Extra care villages: Meeting the needs of a new century

Abstract

Extra care housing, which provides housing and 24‐hour support, must be a more positive way to meet older people's needs than traditional residential care. The article explores a village model which provides substantial communal facilities and mixed‐tenure possibilities. Consideration is given to current and future developments.
