European initiatives for sheltered housing and airport security

摘要

This future standard will specify requirements for providers of services of sheltered housing for the elderly and, according to its initiators, will be applicable irrespective of the legal form of ownership and management of the property and public or private financing of the services. The scope of the proj ect covers one segment of a wider area of services for the elderly. "Sheltered housing" for the elderly has seen an enormous increase in European countries such as Austria, Germany and the United Kingdom in the 1990s and has become an important new form of living for elderly people. There are other terms such as "service living" or "attended living". The future standard will most likely stick to the term "sheltered housing".
