Why are homeowners wary of senior housing? Problems in search of solutions

There are currently 12 million people over 65 in the UK and official population forecasts suggest that there could be another 8.6 million by 2066, with more people living well into their 90s or beyond.

Such longevity should be celebrated but it also has widespread implications for society as a whole, especially for health care and for housing. Housing problems are mounting because choices are limited in a framework that has not fundamentally changed for decades.
