AGEING IN PLACE: PRACTICAL HOME MODIFICATIONS

Staying in your own home is what most people say they want, and yet it rarely gets the same deliberate planning a move would. This guide closes that gap. It walks through the practical work of adapting a home so it keeps working for you, bathroom safety, lighting, flooring, and the technology that genuinely helps, along with the honest financial planning involved and the times when a modification isn't the right answer at all. Done well, none of this looks clinical. It simply means your home carries on suiting you as your needs change.

• Assessing your own home honestly, room by room
• Bathroom, stairs, lighting and flooring: what actually matters first
• Modifications that help without making a home feel clinical
• What things really cost, and what help may be available
• Knowing when adapting is the wrong answer and moving is the right one
