Can seniors receive care at home more affordably than residing in an assisted living community? In this short video, Lisa McCracken, Head of Research and Analytics at the National Investment Center for Senior Housing and Care (NIC), shares NIC's research findings comparing the cost of care for seniors receiving home health care services versus living in an assisted living community.

🎬Fast Forward - The Future of Health and Wellbeing- ACT I
Submission for the Wolfson Economics Prize 2021 presented by The Caring Collective
Our submission was the combined work of 34 specialists with expertise ranging from semiotics to circadian lighting and cultural placemaking to modern methods of construction. Our work involved many voices, so it became clear we should present it in the form of dialogue, interaction, and a visualised setting.
To explore the diversity and creativity of collective thinking, we wrote a play with six Acts called The Caring Collective. The characters, ranging from a child patient to a psychiatric nurse, are all real and were interviewed by our team. The play weaves together a mass of opinions, experiences, expertise, and creativity collected through interviews, conversations, design workshops and research.
Here is a short teaser from ACT I, which visualises Patient Experiences and is set in a Children’s Ward in a Kent hospital in 2025.

We are excited to have inputted into and finally launched ‘Respiratory Health Among Residents of Oliver Bond House’ report developed by Trinity College Dublin School of Medicine at lunchtime today.
The report identifies a significant disparity between incidences of asthma among individuals with an address in Oliver Bond House compared to individuals with addresses elsewhere in Dublin 8- Oliver Bond House residents are 2.4 times more likely to have asthma in their medical records compared to individuals with addresses elsewhere.
Considered alongside physical conditions reported on in Robert Emmet CDP’s earlier ‘Environmental Conditions in Oliver Bond House’ -83% of households report damp and mould, 74% report poor insulation and drafts, 34% report water ingress into the home etc- this latest report lays bare the human cost of Dublin City Councils apparent derogation of duties as they relate to providing a safe and habitable space conducive to the health and wellbeing of residents of Oliver Bond House.
Also, while it is lamentable that data like this did not already exist- statutory authorities cannot be expected to discharge their responsibilities in a rational manner if they have not developed an understanding of the populations they are serving- it’s exciting that this inaction creates a vacuum and consequent potential for communities, in partnership with relevant experts, to directly develop data that can be used to steer their own development into the future.
Many thanks to everyone who made today possible-
Oliver Bond House Residents Group whose resilience and continued constructive approach to engaging with relevant authorities is to be commended. To Jack R. Lehane and colleagues from Smart D8 who funded the project. To Trinity College Dublin School of Medicine and four lead report authors- Noel McCarthy, Catherine Hayes, Dr Darach Ó Ciardha and Dylan C. for bringing this to pass and being understanding and supportive of the purposes the report was being used for. To Joseph Little Head of Building Performance and Construction in School of Architecture, Building and Environment (SABE), TU Dublin for expert input on the Causes of Surface Condensation and Mould, and the Responsibility of Relevant Parties to Alleviate Them.
To the elected representatives who attended on the day and whom have been supportive of this over recent months and to the media who have provided significant coverage to this topic.

🌟 Dundee Community Craft have released a report put together by students from the University of Dundee School of Medicine analysing the social enterprise's impact. Key findings show that Dundee Community Craft - led by #MeWeMemberStephanie G. - supports the city's Drug Deaths Taskforce Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) standards, specifically MAT standard 6 which "focuses on the key role that positive relationships and social connection have to play in people's recovery".
Alongside Glasgow, Dundee has been shown to have the highest rates of drug death misuse over the last 5 years.
The research piece has found that the key areas of impact that Dundee Community Craft offers its workshop participants are:
👏🏿 Emotional Wellbeing
👏🏿 Social Cohesion
👏🏿 Skill Development & Wider Impact
"The other activities are solely recovery based. It is nice to have something that isn’t just recovery focussed so that everyone can join. Everyone has a totally different experience."
The craft based activities help to “increase confidence and [allow participants] to feel like [they] can try new things.”
The report concluded that funding would enable Dundee Community Craft to further their impact across the city as the method of intervention was demonstrating positive results.
Dundee Community Craft also sells craft pieces, and craft workshops to support their impact driven activities.
Congrats to #MeWeMember Stephanie Graham, founder of Dundee Community Craft, for receiving this recognition and validation for the impactful work being carried out!
