The independent Island living strategy concentrates on setting out our ambition for improving the housing offer for older people. While our first priority will always be to ensure people can access support at home, where this is no longer a possibility, we need to ensure we can offer alternative options that can meet changing needs and offer real choice. The strategy has very much been informed by what our residents told us during a wide scale consultation with the public, professionals, current residents of the Island’s independent living communities and developers which we undertook in 2023.
