Why use it?
Nearly 4 million people visited the HousingCare.org website in 2017, and the core attraction for two thirds of them is its comprehensive directory of all forms of retirement housing in the UK:
- Pageviews of housing scheme profiles totalled over 7 million;
- 55,000 online enquiries were made directly to providers.
As importantly, HousingCare aims to showcase and celebrate the wide diversity of specialist housing for older people across the UK, and accurate information is the basis of this. The addition of descriptive text, photos and videos, brochures user views add colour, and are welcome. There is no cost involved at all in presenting your schemes well on HousingCare.
