Abbeyfield is pleased to promote these new awards by the 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 retirement housing, sheltered housing, assisted living, extra care housing, etc, will 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 Nomination Packs will be posted in early September 2009 and the Awards event is scheduled for late January 2010.
Posters and application forms are available now. Please write to EAC Housing Awards, 3rd Floor, 89 Albert Embankment, London SE1 7TP, email housingawards@eac.org.uk , or phone 020 7820 3755. More details at www.housingcare.org
