Having multi-generational homes aids in reducing loneliness which in turn reduce the risk of dementia for the elderly. People are becoming segregated by age as cities are packed with one- and two-bedroom flats. Research-backed up by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) indicates that increased social contact between ages 50 and 70 is linked with a significantly lower risk of forming dementia in the long run.
An estimated 676,000 people in England are reported to have dementia. An estimated 850,000 people live with dementia in the entire United Kingdom. The probability of having dementia after the age of 65 generally doubles every five years, and it primarily affects older adults. Multigenerational living is about helping the older generation, especially in times when they need it the most
A family under one roof enables practical living. Families are able to pay one set of bills for council tax, internet, water, electricity and gas. Reducing complications – it is harder to get the best mortgage deal if more than two people are listed on the property title deeds, and many companies will not lend to people over 70 or 75.
In England, there are about 540,000 caregivers for dementia patients. In their lifetime, one in three persons is predicted to provide care for someone who has dementia. About 66,000 people are believed to have already reduced their working hours to care for a family member, while 50,000 are believed to have stopped working entirely.
Multi-generational housing provides older people with dementia or those who can't take care of themselves with a safe environment where they can live alongside family members or friends. It can help to keep families together and improve the quality of life for everyone involved.
We are happy to share that no trees or plants will be removed as a consequence of the development. Additional trees and bushes would be planted as a part of the landscaping plan, enhancing both the public and private amenities. Moreover, it's been confirmed that the development meets national and local planning policy standards for energy use and CO2 emissions. The suggested energy plan for this development has followed to the Be Lean, Be Clean, and Be Green principles of the energy hierarchy in accordance with guidelines and GLA recommendations. The programme makes use of a variety of designs and technologies, including passive and well-insulated architecture, renewable energy sources, and efficiency techniques.
We continue to work in partnership with the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Council and local authorities. Our partnership leads to providing many events, shops and facilities for our residents.
