Strategic Objective 6 should be amended to include reference to meeting current and future housing and care needs, as the provision of specialist housing and care facilities will work towards a number of these objectives. A variety of options may include support for people wishing to continue living within their own home, extra care housing, sheltered housing, residential care homes and continuing care retirement communities. Recognition of the contribution these make to each of the headings in this section is particularly important given the high proportion of 'older people' in the District and the projected increase in this particular group.
