TY - RPRT AB - The term service integrated housing was developed to describe the various forms of purpose built housing for older people where the housing provider also delivers, or arranges for the delivery of support and care services. It is identified as a third component of aged care in Australia, intermediate between community care and residential care, and overlapping with both these components. Many service integrated housing providers, in both the community and private sectors, are also involved in these other programs, and a large part of the service component is drawn from the Home and Community Care program and community care package programs. Retirement villages are the main form of service integrated housing in Australia. At the 2006 Census, some 130 000 older Australians lived in retirement villages, and when other forms are added, the scale of this part of the sector is comparable to residential aged care (with 167 000 residents as of 2006). Australian experience has much in common with developments in the UK, US and Western European countries, once differences in terminology are taken into account. - See more at: http://www.ahuri.edu.au/publications/projects/p20287#sthash.tUJBZvpq.dpuf AU - Jones, Andrew AU - Howe, Anna AU - Tilse, Cheryl AU - Bartlett, Helen AU - Stimson, Robert CY - Melbourne L1 - internal-pdf://3788554105/Âé¶¹Éç_Final_Report_No141_Service integrated ho.pdf M3 - FR NV - UQ PB - Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute Limited PY - 2010 ST - Service integrated housing for Australians in later life T2 - Âé¶¹Éç Final Report No. 141 TI - Service integrated housing for Australians in later life UR - /research/final-reports/141 ID - 186 ER -
