More of this please. Free up exisiting stock for younger generations
This sounds like a great idea, but why do I get the ominous feeling that someone is going to make a lot of money from this and the old people and their families are going to get screwed.
There are a couple of of over-55 and over-60 developments in Cork, managed by the housing bodies, which offer a mix of social and private rentals. I believe one or two of them have a care assistant on site or shared between who can be called in the event of a fall etc. People can step down into them from a council house into an A rated apartment for example.
They seem very nice, but location is key. One is a renovated office building on a busy bus route and very close to the city centre: [Springville House – Tuath Housing](https://tuathhousing.ie/casestudy/springville/) – they actually renovated a derelict office building and it looks well and is causing very little issues.
No point in building these in Stepaside – setting aside a block or two like this as your social aspect of a development in Dublin 3-8 will definitely attract people out of former family homes and it’s great for the overall security of a complex too. Older neighbours are visible, tend towards community better, clean up the common areas, and tend not to have loud parties.
I’d love to see more of this for older people, not just those in social housing. Frees up houses for younger people, a win/win for society. There is a lot of opportunity here if the government could take the friction out of downsizing.
Huh – we had this in spades without building dedicated step down homes for older people.. every town and street in ireland had this, mix of old and young, emploued and unemployed,. ill and fit….. Societies fail when we do this.. This starts when economic policy means its more profitablt to cater for one side of the community than others. The hooers in power are not the ones to fix it.
This is blatant attempt to moentise what was taken care of organically and saddle the older people witjh lower worse care and taxpayers with payment obligations to social providers.
Building supported housing for older poeple is like takeing all the islanders off the blaskets because of brutal winters and putting them in an repurposed failed holiday village. Your safe now arent ye…
Govt policy should not be a quick fix, but rather competent management of our towns and housing stock for everyone to live together.
Look at traditional irishj towns main street.. Grand houses for the Doctor, Solicitor, on main street with bisiness underneath living with flats over shops for people on less income. Older people able to partake of sociable libing on the street, not depedent on car transport, the ruthym of town life reminding of them they were woven into town life.. .not someone looking for care..
I can only ask, instead of a shared pickleball court, will it have a euthanasia suite also. Istnt this something we did with orpaned kids or those from poor social standing…
