The Ageing-in-Place Consultant

“If we talk about it, everything gets better” Dr Lucy Pollock.

Let’s talk about, and plan for, a better later life.

My name is Miles and I am The Ageing-in-Place Consultant.

I work with councils, businesses, charities, and individuals who want to offer support to people in three main categories:

  • Support for older people who want to plan for a later life in their own home
  • Support for people who are supporting ageing parents
  • Introducing a new way of thinking about retirement

My focus is to get people to think about where they want to age, and how to stay healthy enough to stay there for life, avoiding the Care home.

I do this by offering a 50 minute conversation on one of the subjects below…
