The homes we live in are a crucial determinant
for our wellbeing, health and happiness. As we
age, our needs change and so must our homes.
People are living longer, but many are doing so
with reduced mobility and multiple long-term
conditions. Yet, the vast majority of the homes
we have built are not suitable for the later stages
of our lives. Fitting aids and adaptations into
homes is a cost-effective way to meet the needs
of an ageing and changing population.
