A Future at Home

Tech for Each Room of the House

How do we go about adapting a house so that it is fit for Ageing in Place? What technology can help us with all aspects of making a home the right place to be for the forseeable future?

Adapt My Home: A Room-by-Room Guide

Let’s get our houses ready to host us for the next 20 to 40 years!

We’ve broken down each room according to how we use it most. Some of the information is simply about products that fit the space and some is about ideas and services associated with each area of the house. We look at health and personal AgeTech in relation to the room.

We’ve tried to keep things simple, with a small number of ideas per space. Most are things we really like and have researched for you. Some are simply best sellers. As always, we want your feedback. If you love something, or find something we should add, please let us know.

If something we show doesn’t deliver, let us know about it so we can review and amend our recommendations.
