Within the framework of policies aimed at realising forms of shared and collaborative living, relevant expectations are placed on Senior Housing interventions. This type of intervention has many aspects in common with the other types of specialised residences brought together in the framework of Social Housing: living comfort and containment of energy costs, additional collective endowments to the living space, proximity services, openness to the community and integration with it.
But since they are aimed at a segment of the population that tends to be increasingly fragile from several points of view – from the physical to the economic, from the health to the social – in addition to the qualities typical of other types of Social Housing they are required to possess others, aimed at counteracting the processes of weakening and loneliness.
And the demographic trends currently underway in the country, which show the gradual expansion of the elderly population, call for an intensification of interventions aimed at the elderly through policies necessarily based on the integration – with various formulas – of the financial and organisational resources that the three sectors – public, private, private social – are able to make available.
The community’s awareness of this increasingly important issue must therefore be raised, and the public policies addressed to it, together with its most virtuous manifestations, must be made known so that they can stimulate emulative behaviour.
