There is a common misconception that older person’s housing places an additional burden on healthcare infrastructure. It produces a large number of benefits which can help to reduce the demands on Health and Social Services and other care facilities. Residents remain in better health, both physically and mentally and essential practitioners can all attend to visit several occupiers at once. This leads to a far more efficient and effective use of public resources.
