Our housingcare website is an ongoing project. Now 9 years old, it has progressed to become the leading UK source of information about housing, support and care services for older people, with over 13,000 visitors a day. During 2010 it underwent a major facelift as well as complete restructuring to provide easier access to its huge information resources, and lay the foundations for local variations to meet the needs of our partners in FirstStop Advice.

HOOP (Housing Options for Older People) is a simple tool, available as an interactive experience online or in printed form, that uses a question & answer technique to help older people think about different aspects of their home, how they live in it and how well it is working for them. It then suggests information and resources that might help resolve any problems identified. HOOP has proved very helpful to professionals who work with older people, as it offers a structured approach to helping their clients reach their own decisions, often in the face of complex and competing priorities.
