Summary on Grant Application Form |

The research aim is to develop a method for profiling the full spectrum of the housing stock for older people that will replace the outmoded categories currently used by local and planning authorities. The new classification will embrace standards of provision and quality of life variables. The research involves the direct study of 120 residential settings in 6 localities within 2 regions of the country. The validity of the new classification will be tested by a detailed ethnography of 60 older people who are considering a move to change their current residential and care regime. Sampling will be taken within a transect through South-East England from East Anglia through Central London to Dorset and through the North-West of England from the Flyde coast, through Merseyside and Greater Manchester to rural Cheshire. The objective will be to build a broad, regional population study and picture of the housing stock for older people and to test the value of the new descriptors in characterising the range of housing a domicilliary care options that are available by applying the new classification and profile in 120 representative residential settings. A ' configurational analysis' and 'disability audit' will also be made for each example.
