Adaptations
1 Measuring the Social Return on Investment of Stage 3 Adaptations and Very Sheltered Housing in Scotland
Envoy Partnership has conducted two separate and independent Social Return on Investment (SROI) analyses: One analysis is of Stage 3 Adaptations for older people living in Sheltered and Very Sheltered Housing in Scotland, and the second analysis is on Very Sheltered Housing itself. The study finds that both services are key ways of significantly “shifting the balance of care” away from care homes and hospitals. The study also demonstrates that both services have a fundamental role in “re-shaping care for older people” through reducing waste and reducing both short and long term costs, whilst improving the well-being and independence of older people.
