The Elderly Accommodation Counsel (EAC)

Founded in 1984 and registered as a charity in 1985, it is now more commonly known as the EAC.

The Elderly Accommodation Counsel's aim is to help older people make informed choices about meeting their housing and care needs. Since its early days, it has striven to deliver a first-class information and advice service directly to older people, their relatives and carers, whilst at the same time raising awareness amongst other advisory agencies, professionals and policy makers of the importance people attach to information and advice which helps them make their own, informed decisions about how and where to live in older age.

The EAC has devoted time and energy to collecting reliable and detailed information about services and specialist housing provision for older people. Its Care Options and Housing Options databases are widely used by other agencies as well as EAC.

This site is about the charity, our services and how you can help and support us. At our sister site www.HousingCare.org you will find all the information we can offer to help you with your housing decisions.
