Making the case for retirement villages

Making the case for retirement villages - York Joseph Rowntree Foundation 2006

Reviews the evidence to date on the impact of retirement villages, a relatively new type of provision in the UK. Explores five key themes: the potential of retirement villages to enhance older people's choices for independent living; the particular benefits of larger developments and the potential for economies to scale; how retirement villages can be made accessible and affordable for a range of older people; the potential impact of retirement villages on local health and social services, and the impact of retirement villages on local communities.
