There are many reasons why you might be considering where to live as you get older. Health and mobility difficulties, changes to your household size, and a wish to be closer to family and friends, or to shops and services, are a few examples. This guide helps you to consider your options. It looks at:
Is your home right for you?
Deciding your priorities
Staying where you are
Moving, and the different housing options available
The advice in this guide applies to England only. A lot of it will still be relevant to you but we have a few suggestions if you are looking for advice that is specific to other parts of the UK.
