Representation Summary:
The Council have not considered the needs of the elderly when deciding upon the solution of elderly housing issues. Lifetime homes only cater for a particular group of elderly people whom are still mobile & able to remain at home. It does however, not cater for those whom do not wish to have the burden of maintaining their home, and are looking for a lifestyle change. This is achieved through Category 11 Sheltered Housing & for the less mobile, an Extra Care Scheme. This is supported in paragraph 16.5. Preferred Approach 20 does not take this into consideration & should do so.
