Housing options

Adapting your home

Small adaptations to your home could make your life easier and more comfortable.

• Adaptations available to you

Home help support

Home help services offer assistance with things like bathing, dressing and respite care to give you or your carer a break.

• Find the support you need

Boost your income

Being financially secure can help you stay in your home for longer. Follow these steps to boost your income in retirement.

• How to get started

Moving in with family

This can seem ideal if you need support, want to spend more time with your grandchildren, or need to downsize.

• What to consider

Renting accommodation

Your rights as a tenant will depend if you're renting from your local council, a housing association or a private landlord.

• Know your rights

Moving abroad

Retiring to another country is a big decision, do as much research as possible before leaving the UK.

• Is retiring abroad the right choice?

Sheltered housing

If you want to live independently but somewhere easier to manage, sheltered, or retirement housing could appeal to you.

Care homes

If you need more personal care than sheltered housing can give you, moving to a care home could be an option.
