"..this book is an informative reference on the contemporary state of housing with care and its policy and regulatory context in the United Kingdom." Catherine Hagan Hennessy in The Gerontologist, June 2010
"This is a highly useful book. It provides much food for thought. It will be valuable to a range of audiences – students, those in academia, those who are considering their own housing choices as they grow older, as well as those people and organisations who are reflecting on the type of provision they might want to offer." International Journal of Housing Policy
"Where people choose to live, and how they will be cared for in later life, are issues affecting everyone in the 21st century. This important and timely book provides a lucid, jargon-free discussion of how important 'community' is to older people - and how this plays out in the now rapid expansion of retirement villages and extra-care housing. It will be essential reading for students, practitioners and policy makers, as well as for socially committed developers of such environments." Miriam Bernard, University of Keele
"This important book successfully pulls together the emergent literature on housing with care for older people and goes on to draw out the key issues for the future." Robin Means, University of the West of England
