peer agreement (net): +4sheltered housing Explanation: I suspect that the French term RPA may be fairly widely applied to a range of provision. Sheltered housing in England also comes in various forms, as it can range from flats in a single complex with a communal lounge and kitchen and a resident warden to designated flats or bungalows in general purpose housing and with non-resident warden assistance. At least that was the case when I was managing social housing about 15 years ago. http://www.chu-caen.fr/pagemodele-52.html?E -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2011-12-07 13:07:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Sheltered housing Sometimes referred to as retirement housing, this offers a well designed home of your own plus communal facilities and some services. Most schemes comprise flats, but bungalow estates exist too. Newer schemes usually offer 1, 2 and sometimes 3 bedroom properties; older ones may include some studio (one room) flats. The facilities may include a residents’ lounge, a visitors’ room, a communal garden and a laundry. Typically the scheme will have a full- or part-time manager whose job includes providing support and advice to residents. Properties may be bought or rented. Many sheltered schemes have a social dimension. Residents and/or scheme managers may organise regular coffee mornings, bingo, whist drives, entertainments, religious services or outings.

There will usually be at least one member of staff on hand 24 hours a day. Additional facilities are often available to cater for people who are not able to get out regularly, perhaps including a restaurant, shop, gym, hobby room, and so on. Activities may be arranged regularly, as in sheltered housing, commonly with an emphasis on improving or maintaining residents’ health and wellbeing. Some schemes are able to continue caring for people who develop dementia.

Often people will spend the first few years not using them and only start using them when they get frailer. Reference: http://www.chu-caen.fr/pagemodele-52.html |
