Help and advice on planning your future housing needs.
Even if you are happy living where you are now, it is good to start thinking about what you might need from your home in the future.
Planning ahead for your future housing needs is best done alongside other planning such as making a will, setting up a Power of Attorney and financial planning.
What you want and need from your home will be personal to you. Your options will depend on your financial situation, where your friends and family live, the care and support you need now or may need in the future and the housing options available in the area where you want to live.
Age Scotland have recently published a guide to housing options for older people in Scotland. The wide-ranging advice available to those accessing its website, fact sheets and helpline, will help older people and their families and carers to make informed decisions about the issues that matter to them.
The main housing options available across Angus are:
- Staying in your current home and adapting it or getting additional support to meet your needs. Visit our help to live at home pages for more information.
- Buying or renting a smaller/more suitable property.
- Care homes and sheltered housing
- Moving in with family.
