Alcove
Independent living supported by ‘smart’ technologyTHE CHALLENGE
An aging population – one in five of us will live until one hundred — is putting increasing pressure on care services. Traditional care models are expensive and insufficient resource is available to meet the growing demand. With the average cost of residential care as much as £30,000 per annum, Peterborough City Council wants to ensure people can live in their own homes for as long as possible, with the right support in place so they live safe, supported and full lives.
