This is a conference presentation conducted by ALONE’s Housing with Support Scheme Manager, in 2204 at the nternational Integrated Care Conference. The presentation explains the reality of ageing at home in Ireland, and the way principles of ALONE’s model of housing with support.
Some of the key points covered in the presentation are as follows:
• A key area of concern when considering Ireland’s ageing population is the provision of suitable housing.
• Through enablement supports, ALONE’s Housing with Support model addresses this need effectively, offering an alternative housing option through purpose-built, universally designed homes, with 24/7 onsite support and care services, as and when needed.
• With the specially designed solution, it is the only available solution to address the gap in continuum of care for older people in Ireland and maximises independence for older people.
• Our supported housing model encompasses a holistic, whole system approach to assistive technology delivery. The multi-functional design of our assistive technology promotes safety, wellness, connectivity and independence.
