Extra Care Housing (ECH) is a type of housing for older people that aims to provide flexible care while fostering independence. Access and AT in flats and common areas were audited by an occupational therapist, and architect and a rehabilitation engineer. Tenants were often unaware of the origin of the AT for care support but were usually aware of where the care neutral and care substitution AT came from. Regarding accessibility often the buildings did not fully comply with accessibility standards. This may have been because the buildings were remodelled rather than purpose-built. Recommendations include providing: broadband internet, free internal communication means, and to fully comply with accessibility regulations.
