FirstStop Advice and Care & Repair England are mounting a series of conferences during May under the banner "In our own hands: Improving information and advice for later life decision making".
As radical changes across housing, health and care provision for older people take shape, access to independent advice and information about later life housing and care options is becoming more important than ever.
Local authorities and health sector organisations are increasingly being expected to work with older people to enable individual choice and control. Good quality, impartial advice and information about housing and care alternatives is greatly valued by older people who, more than ever, are being exhorted to plan ahead for their own later life living arrangements.
These conferences provide the perfect opportunity for delegates to find out more about the links to emerging policy agendas, to share knowledge and experience, and to discuss how to work together to shape future provision of housing and care advice for older people.
