As you get older, you may need some support to make life easier in your existing home, or perhaps you want to move somewhere smaller or closer to family or friends.

Whether you're planning to stay at home, move into a care home or sheltered accommodation or even live with family, learning more about what is available will allow you to make an informed decision about the sort of housing best suited to your needs.

The information in this section is endorsed by Elderly Accommodation Council, a national charity which provides advice to older people on their housing options.
