Our current UK healthcare approach appears to have three axes: care in the home, in care homes, or in hospitals, and all are being increasingly impacted by caring for the elderly.
This study looks at the benefits of adding drop-in urban care centres to cost effectively assist more people, particularly our increasing elderly population, by providing appropriate daytime care while still living at home.
The study also proposes the re-purposing underutilised high street retail space, which keeps existing buildings in use, while revitalising high streets and improving urban liveability.
