Starting your ‘Ageing in Place’ journey

Welcome to A Future at Home (AFAH), a place to learn about, and plan for, ageing. Specifically, we want to help you learn how to make adaptations now to help keep you or a loved one in your own home for as long as possible.

Under the AFAH umbrella, we bring together expert advice along with links to organisations and services that can help with two main issues:

  • Future-proofing our houses so we can grow old in them – ageing in place
  • Introducing technology (AgeTech) to improve our lives.

Watch our introductory video, browse the links at the top of the site to learn more about us, and complete the AFAH Survey.
