Longevity Home - Visit

The National Innovation Centre for Ageing and Bernicia Living have teamed up to develop a longevity home in Newcastle.

Many of us want to live independently in our own homes for longer and there are many innovative products currently on the market which can support independent living.

Our aim is to showcase some of the existing and future technology in a setting that is familiar to us all.

Please join us for a tour of the home and tell us how you fell about it, we would love your feedback.

Viewing sessions take around 30-45 minutes and we welcome anyone who would like to visit.

Accessibility notice - please be aware that the upstairs area can only be viewed via a staircase.

Upcoming dates:

• Housing Associations (SHINE group members): 19th Sept 10.30am and 23rd Sept 1.30pm.

There is a maximum number of attendees allocated for each visit, we are operating a small waiting list to accomodate for any cancellations.

This event is being delivered by the Internet of Caring Things™ programme funded by The North East Combined Authority attending businesses MUST be based either in County Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle, Northumberland, North Tynside, South Tyneside or Sunderland.

About the Internet of Caring Things® programme

The Internet of Caring Things® is a network of connected devices and services with a clear mission: to actively care for people – their physical and mental well-being – and what really matters to them – such as leisure, safety and security, pets, planet, sustainability and connecting with family and friends.

A £5.6 million pound project running through to 2027, the Internet of Caring Things® programme is delivered by U.K. National Innovation Centre Ageing (NICA), VOICE® and Centre of Process Innovation (CPI) to support economic growth and improve the health and wellbeing of those living and working in the North East. Together we are developing the first network of connected objects and cognitive systems with a clear mission: to actively care for people and what matters to them.

This project is part-funded by the North East Combined Authority and Newcastle University, in partnership with Centre of Process Innovation (CPI).

The North East Combined Authority is a partnership of seven local authorities: County Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle, Northumberland, North Tynside, South Tyneside and Sunderland. Find out more at: https://www.northeast-ca.gov.uk/
