title: Sheltered housing: building bridges between nurses and housing staff.
abstract: Sheltered housing staff and buildings are underutilized. Health staff are encouraged to work in partnership with colleagues in sheltered housing, involving them in assessments and support arrangements. The charity ERoSH has a checklist and DVD to provide guidance on how such partnership working can be improved, including making better use of communal lounges for health related activities such as falls prevention, malnutrition screening, exercise.
