Housing for Older People

In October 2008 we launched a comprehensive strategy that sets out how we will deliver services to Older People, now and in the future. The following summarises the strategy.

Our Vision

To ensure that Older People have choice in where they live. If people wish to “stay put” we will support this choice through the provision of good quality accommodation and adaptations that meets modern standard and individual needs. We will also support our Tenants by ensuring that they have enough information to make an informed choice and by being able to offer a variety of suitable properties and support should they wish to move.

The Strategy

Our strategy covers the following areas :

• Analysis of Endeavour’s Tenants
• Overview of Services and our Strategic Approach
• Asset Management
• Affordability
• Financial Inclusion
• Adaptations
• Details of our services including sheltered housing, Extra care and housing for the BME Community
• New services which we are developing
• Telecare
• Our Future Plans

It is anticipated that through the monitoring of services, alongside frequent consultation around future needs and aspirations, the housing options provided by Endeavour will continue to evolve to meet the changing and divergent needs of older people.

If you would like any further information on our services or if you are a tenant and would be interested in getting involved please contact us on 01642 796200 (or Freephone from a landline on 0800 980 9050).
