Planning for your housing future

Planning for your housing future: A handbook to help you think about your housing in the years ahead

Designed as a conversation starter, this practical guide by Housing Options Scotland outlines the key considerations for everyone to plan their own housing future to make sure their home meets their needs in later life.

The handbook aims to help individuals and their families make informed decisions about the right housing options and is designed to support people over the age of 55 to live as they choose, as they get older, by facilitating conversations and reflections about how and where they want to live in later life.

The guide covers topics from size and location to comfort and security, with space on each page to jot down thoughts, concerns, and questions. It also includes a list of organisations in Scotland that can offer advice.
