Care & Repair Conference 2026

Join us for the biggest event in Wales dedicated to older people's housing.

This year's conference brings together leaders, practitioners and partners from across Wales to explore one simple but powerful idea: that everyone should be able to live safely, independently and with dignity in their own home for as long as possible. As our population ages and pressures on health and care services grow, the role of the home will only become more critical. This conference will shine a light on the real difference that safe, suitable homes make—not just to individuals, but to families, communities and public services across the nation.

From reducing risk and avoiding crisis to enabling independence and improving wellbeing, Homes for Life is about turning ambition into action. Join us to be part of a shared, Wales-wide vision—one where home is not just where we live, but the foundation for living well.

Who should attend?

The conference is for anyone interested in how housing, health and social care connect, or who wants to join the conversation about the wellbeing of older people in Wales. This includes housing professionals, health and social care workers, and those working for local charities.
