The team supports older people to live independently with varying levels of care and support in our independent living schemes. Achieving the accreditation is recognition of their hard work and expertise and it will ensure we continue to deliver a high-quality service for residents living in our independent living schemes.

Their accreditation enables housing providers to demonstrate the quality of their service, against nationally recognised standards. They champion good quality housing and help policy formulation, channelling feedback from the sector into government.
