The Health and Housing Link

The Health and Housing Link

article by: Admin at: 3rd Mar 2017 under: Adaptations, Blog, Dementia, Handyperson, Independent Living, Trusted Assessment

It is encouraging to note that the housing and health link is being increasingly highlighted both at a local and national level.

We couldn’t help but share this insightful guest blog post that Sue Adams from Care & Repair England recently produced for NHS England. It absolutely hits the spot in terms of the importance of housing in the ongoing health and social care debate.
