The home you have in later life has a major effect on your general wellbeing. Even if you are happy living where you are now, it is good to think about what you might need from your home in future. Planning ahead for your future housing needs is best done alongside other planning such as making a Will, setting up Power of Attorney and financial planning.
What you want and need from your home will be personal to you. Your options will depend on your financial situation, where your friends and family live, the care and support you need now or may need in future and the housing options available in the area where you want to live. This guide sets out the different options for you and the different forms of support available, so that you can make an informed decision and live well at home as you get older.
