Residents from minority group did feel more isolated and were more likely to look for social connections outside of the housing schemes within which they lived @TheDICEProject1 @pwillis5 @bribeach @ILCUK @HousingLIN

Whilst most resident felt included, some improvements need to be made with regard to inclusion of people with minority identities in housing for older people @pwillis5 @HousingLIN @ILCUK @UoBrisSPS

Language very important when addressing cultural & minority identities. Social minorities a good alternative for people from culturally diverse backgrounds. @TheAbbeyfield @TheDICEProject1 @HLINComms @ILCUK @BaronessBarker @UoBrisSPS @BMENational #InclusiveNeighbourhoods

Key messages from interviews with stakeholders for @TheDICEProject1 #InclusiveNeighbourhoods @UoBrisSPS @ILCUK @britgerontology @HLINComms

Interviews with residents suggest there are pockets of isolation in housing for older people. #InclusiveNeighbourhoods @TheDICEProject1 @UoBrisSPS @ILCUK @HLINComms @britgerontology

1 in 8 residents living in housing for older people have witnessed discrimination from other residents but not from staff, suggesting staff are supportive of residents with diverse characteristics. #InclusiveNeighbourhoods @UoBrisSPS @HLINComms @ILCUK
