Purpose<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2013 The purpose of this paper is to enquire how housing providers can facilitate a \u201csocial scene\u201d which helps residents to bond together and which indirectly can generate both mutual aid and a collective voice.<\/p><\/div>\n

Design\/methodology\/approach<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2013 The study of 16 retirement housing schemes (including social rented, extra care and leasehold), involved focus groups engaging altogether 130 residents, interviews with estate managers and a postal survey with 120 respondents across eight estates.<\/p><\/div>\n

Findings<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2013 The findings highlight an important \u201ccommunity development\u201d role for existing on-site managers and the risk that a move to floating support means losing this function. They illustrate the obstacles faced by retirement housing residents in developing collective social activities or a participatory voice in management. This paper is one of several ongoing and planned outputs of the study covering different aspects of the findings.<\/p><\/div>\n

Research limitations\/implications<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2013 The initial study reported here is largely based on residents\u2019 views. A follow-up survey of over 400 estate managers is now in progress.<\/p><\/div>\n

Social implications<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2013 The findings offer warnings about the potential and limitations of self-managed housing for the older old, and the dangers of replacing on-site staff by floating support.<\/p><\/div>\n

Originality\/value<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2013 The research fills a gap in previous work on sheltered housing by focusing on the community rather than the individual resident. It will inform planning of housing support models to build and sustain social capital in elders\u2019 housing schemes.<\/p><\/div>\n
