At last the retirement housing sector has its own dedicated awards.

At the inaugural event at Lords on Feb 4 around 340 guests, including designers, providers and managers of retirement housing and over 100 elderly residents were present to see 32 Awards handed out across 11 categories of retirement housing and housing with care.

Peverel Retirement has dominated the QI Mark scene over recent weeks, having made the decision to encourage all its 1,500 House Managers to complete our questionnaire. Around two thirds of its UK-wide portfolio of leasehold retirement developments now carry the Mark. At the other end of the size scale is the Abbeyfield Burnham & Highbridge Society, which owns just one House for 8 residents in Burnham, Somerset.

Congratulations to both on helping take the number of schemes awarded the Mark to nearly 3,500.

The EAC Quality of Information Mark aims to encourage housing providers to present detailed and accurate information on this website about their specialist housing for older people. Find out more about the QI Mark.
