EAC Housing for Older People Awards 2010
ERoSH is pleased to endorse these new awards by Elderly Accommodation Counsel, supported by both the Department for Communities and Local Government, and the Housing LIN of the DH Care Networks. These awards cover all forms of retirement housing.
For the first time, residents of sheltered, retirement, assisted living or extra care housing, can nominate schemes through a consultation involving them in small groups as well as individually. A deck of cards has been designed to stimulate discussions and help capture satisfaction ratings on design, services, and well-being.
The awards aim to:
- Publicly celebrate the best specialist housing for older people
- Engage thousands of residents in identifying what contributes to quality of life in traditional and emerging models of specialist housing provision
- Ensure that older people, families and carers have access to the best possible information
- Help shape the future of housing in later life.
Ask now for the awards A4 posters, application forms and nomination packs for all your sheltered housing schemes. Deadline for nominations: 31 October 2009.
