Housing and Services - Our Life as Elderly

Housing

Introduction and Background

An overall conclusion and confirmed wish was clearly to stay in ones home as long as possible. To facilitate this demand a number of development areas needed strong attention For instance more flexible housing to allow disability, establish various providers for home service and minor health treatment.

In OLE we could also get confirmation on the interest to so called mixed generation houses.

A further need that was confirmed was general social activities. Especially those generated among the elderly themselves. Not with any specific focus, more of the kind that the elderly engaged themselves in their own capacity and interest.

From OLE we selected a number of concrete new products and services to develop further.

Establish property solution type "vintagehousing".
- In principle create a functional handbook on "How to build and succeed".
Establish a system for "self generated" activities focused for elderly by elderly.
Establish system for property bank concerning adapted housing for senior citizen.

You will find a detailed presentation of our new products and services under the page Our Results here above.

You will also be able to read more about our work and its progress in the reports we posted under "documents" here above.
