Across many of the Strategic Plans for Health and Social Care in Scotland there is a focus on more connected communities, and more options for care at home. Architecture and Design Scotland has published ‘A Caring Place’. This is a vision to make more of the places we already have and to better support older people to live well. It is co-produced with citizens and organisations across sectors of care, community and the built environment in Scotland.

The purpose of this event is to bring together parties from the public, private and third sectors to share knowledge, network and learning on the topic of Intergenerational Housing and Age Friendly Places. It offers an opportunity to:

Discuss possibilities of ‘Caring Places’

Explore and showcase what is achievable

Invite collaboration for the future
