Retirement communities may also be referred to as retirement villages; extra care housing; housing with care; assisted living; close care apartments; or independent living. ARCO continually strives to: Promote confidence in the sector, ensuring that all members are providing a high quality service to their residents. To this end, all ARCO-registered schemes have to adhere to the standards laid out in ARCO’s Standards and Compliance Framework. Raise awareness of the retirement community model amongst older people and stakeholders alike – ensuring that all older people are aware of the variety of housing options available to them; and that policy makers fully understand the ways in which this type of housing provision can meet the lifestyle, health and social care needs of our ageing population. Increase the volume and quality of expertise within the sector and share this with members, continually investing in research to better understand and promote the socio-economic value of the housing with care model. ARCO was formed in September 2012 by its Founder Members. There are currently 27 ARCO members, representing more than 400 retirement communities in the UK. This is more than 50% of all housing-with-care schemes and includes both private and not-for-profit providers.
