Abstract
ABSTRACT Housing for the elderly is subject to regulation in most countries. The types of housing that should be subject to regulation are discussed, including issues to be addressed by regulation, such as the interdependence between location and services, and the implications Of continuous occupancy. Regulatory regimes in Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, the U.K. and the U.S.A. are described and compared, to suggest the dimensions of the ideal regulatory framework. Criteria for evaluating elderly housing proposals are developed, and this paper presents an evaluation system for use in the regulatory review of congregate housing and small nursing home projects.
