It’s vital that Welsh Government and others listen to the housing needs of older people. That’s why we use powerful testimonies from people in later life and what our teams see on the front-line to inform and influence debate on older people’s housing issues.
We’re calling on the next Welsh Government to protect those most at risk from poor housing.
Read our manifestoEvery older person should live in a home that is safe, warm and accessible.Â
No older person’s life should be at risk in winter because they struggle to heat their home.
Older people should be able to live safely and independently at home for as long as they choose.
A healthy home that supports independent living is essential to speeding up safe hospital discharge and reducing readmission.
Care & Repair provided evidence to the Local Government and Housing Committee’s inquiry into the role Local Authorities play in hospital discharge.
New Welsh Government estimates show that a quarter of Welsh Households are now considered to be in fuel poverty spending more than 10% of their income to heat their home to an adequate temperature.
Care & Repair Cymru has been working alongside Tai Pawb Private Rented Sector Champions Network to develop a new video and e-guide designed to give landlords and letting agents across Wales to better support older tenants and those with accessibility needs.
