Appleton, N. J. W. (2002) "Planning for Older People in New Osbaldwick					". yes A1a B9 C1b. 
	
This study explores what might help older people settle most easily into a new community.

The study reviews what affects the housing situation and housing choices of older people in general housing such as that proposed for ‘New Osbaldwick’, the Foundation’s planned new community on the edge of York. The review identifies the characteristics of neighbourhoods and communities that will meet their needs, aspirations and priorities, and discusses the implications of their current and future requirements in the design and operation of their homes.

The key issues are summarised in a set of recommendations for planners, developers and all those interested in the impact of an ageing society upon the provision of housing.

Centre for Housing Policy and University of York (2010). Telling the story of Hartfields: a new retirement village for the twenty-first century, Joseph Rowntree Foundation. yes A1d B2 B9 C1b
	This brief findings report describes key points from an evaluation study of Hartfields, a new retirement village in Hartlepool developed by the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, Hartlepool Borough Council, and other local partners. Opened in 2008, Hartfields is a mixed tenure development with 242 units of one and two bedroom accommodation, intended to be an independent living setting but with the capacity to accommodate people with high levels of need for care and support, and primarily for people aged over 60 with a strong connection to Hartlepool. The evaluation study tracked and analysed major decisions and developments in the planning and implementation of Hartfields, described challenges and constraints encountered and strategies used to overcome these, and explored ideas and expectations on housing with care for older people. The study found that Hartfields is a successful scheme, designed and built within budget and on schedule, with contributory factors including a clear strategic view of the housing and support needs of older people, local planners proactively identifying suitable sites, funding from the Department of Health's Extra Care Housing Fund, an effective partnership committee, and community consultation.

	In 2004, the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, Hartlepool Borough Council, and other local partners started working together to develop Hartfields, a new retirement village in Hartlepool, with funding from the Department of Health's Extra Care Housing Fund and the Housing Corporation. Opened in 2008, Hartfields is a mixed tenure development with 242 units of one and two bedroom accommodation, intended to be an independent living setting but with the capacity to accommodate people with high levels of need for care and support, and primarily for people aged over 60 with a strong connection to Hartlepool. This evaluation study aimed to track major decisions and developments in the planning and implementation of Hartfields, to describe and analyse challenges and constraints encountered and strategies used to overcome these, and to explore ideas and expectations on housing with care for older people. Data was collected through documents and plans, semistructured interviews with key staff in the partner agencies, and focus groups and interviews with residents. The report covers the strategic context and housing needs and provision in Hartlepool, the key decisions and challenges and working in partnership, the early life of Hartfields as a new community, and key learning points and future challenges, concluding that Hartfields is a successful scheme.

Joseph Rowntree Foundation (2000). Is enhanced sheltered housing an effective replacement for residential care for older people? York 2000, Joseph Rowntree Foundation JRF. yes A1e B2 B9 C1b
	Two forms of provision for older people combine housing with care: residential care and sheltered housing. Christine Oldman, of the Centre for Housing Policy at the University of York, conducted an overview of the relatively new forms of enhanced sheltered housing, and examined claims that they could reduce reliance on or even replace residential care. This summary of the full report, "Blurring the boundaries: a fresh look at housing and care provision for older people" (Pavilion Publishing on behalf of the Foundation) considers the differences between residential care and the newer forms of enhanced sheltered accommodation. The study comprised a literature review, semi-structured telephone interviews with the main providers and other key players, and case study evaluations of innovative housing and care provision in York..

	An evaluation of the Scarcroft Project based in York. This is a multi-agency pilot project which set out to test the design and delivery of care packages for older people.

Meethan, K. and C. Thompson (1993). "Politics, Locality and Resources - Negotiating a Community Care Scheme." Policy and Politics 21(3): 195-205. yes A1d B9 C1b
	This paper is concerned with the establishment of a pilot community care scheme in York, the Scarcroft Project. Based largely on the principles outlined in the Griffiths Report, the project was established by North Yorkshire Social Services Department to develop and coordinate services for elderly people in an area of York. The initiative is multi-disciplinary in its approach and also involves York Health Authority, York City Council and Age Concern, York. Drawing on recent sociological analyses concerned with conceptualising localities this paper will show that the decision to close an elderly persons' home and reinvest the revenue in community care was the result of a process of compromise and negotiation between service providers and politicians concerned with the allocation of resources at local level. This in turn is discussed in terms of the implications for consumer involvement in community care.

Examines the main models of providing housing and care which have emerged recently, looking at their; purpose, organisational structures, costs, entry issues, physical design and service delivery. Presents a "pilot" evaluation and describes two schemes in York, one developed; by the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust and the other by the City of York Council. Concludes by looking at the future of housing and care provision in the light of policy; uncertainties. To see a summary of this report, order PLANEX Ref. S4910.

	Special report from the Joseph Rowntree Memorial Trust on a research project evaluating the Trust's pioneering scheme of flexible housing tenure. The University of York was; asked to monitor the pilot, 48-unit Category 1 and 2 sheltered housing scheme, and this evaluation assesses the contribution flexible tenure makes to the housing needs of; elderly people. Purpose of the scheme was to increase the supply of housing for such people by drawing in their personal finance alongside government grants and loans repaid; from rental income, and 77 homes were thus provided in place of the 42 which would have resulted from standard, fully rented projects. Conclusions by members of the research; Advisory Group follow Dr Oldfield's initial evaluation.
