The Centre for Ageing Better and Care & Repair England's new report reveals that over two million over-55s are living in a home that endangers their health or wellbeing.

This report demonstrates the need for understanding the local context and speaking to local communities when developing information and advice services.

This report identifies the elements of high-quality and innovative practice in the provision of home adaptations for older people. It highlights practical examples of local areas that are organising and delivering adaptations effectively.

This report summarises the findings of a primary research project exploring the lived experiences of individuals who use home adaptations, and practitioners who work alongside them.

This report summarises the findings of a systematic review of the best recent scientific evidence on how home adaptations can contribute to improving later lives.

The review aims to provide evidence to make the case for the importance and effectiveness of adaptations, primarily to influence policy-makers at national and local levels, practitioners and local commissioners.

Home is where most people want to be in later life and 80% of homeowners aged 65 and over wish to stay where they are. Homes are important for health and wellbeing – home adaptations can delay a move into residential care by four years.

Through our workshop, we investigated how those in later life view the importance of living in a suitable home and neighbourhood.
