Making a choice – A future in Care or…
A Future at Home
Planning for later life is something that we often neglect because it can be daunting. One thing that we do know is that talking about where and how we grow old is the best way of ensuring a long, healthy, happy, and comfortable, later life.
Most people want to decide where they spend their later years, and with a bit of planning, and a bit of luck of course, we can make sure we spend the most time possible in the places we choose, doing the things we love.
Starting your ‘Ageing in Place’ journey
Welcome to A Future at Home (AFAH), a place to learn about, and plan for, ageing well. Specifically, we want to understand the adaptations we can make to our attitudes, our lifestyles, and our houses, to help keep us in our own homes for as long as possible.
Under the AFAH umbrella, I bring together expert advice along with links to organisations and services that can help us to:
- Talk about what we want and need openly and honestly
- Adapt our houses so we can grow old in them – ageing-in-place
- Introduce technology (AgeTech) to improve our lives and keep our autonomy
- Plan for great care and still pass money to kids and grandkids.
Watch my introductory videos, browse the links at the top of the site to learn more about us, and consider a 1 hour consultation about how to plan for a future at home.

Once we’ve decided where we want to spend our later life – a new location, and new, smaller house, a retirement village, or in the family home, it time to make sure it’s fit to keep us safe and healthy and eventually provides a place fit to keep us away from the Care Home.
If you’re ready to adapt a home, start with our ‘Room by Room’ pages. Each one will show you what you can do to make adaptation to the room, and change to the activities you associate with each space. You’ll find lots of advice, products and services that will help you.
