Can I remain at home in my older years? Age at home comfortably

If only I had a crystal ball, wouldn’t planning for your older years be so much easier?

‘When should I start thinking about care?’ ‘What does care look like?’ ‘Surely I can’t stay at home.’ Do these sound familiar, if so rest assured you’re not alone.

There is no set formula, no right or wrong. It is important to ensure you understand your options and your preferences so that when the time feels right wheels can be set in motion. This is not just about care planning, it also provides peace of mind for yourself, family members and loved ones.

Karen Knapp, Director at Radfield Home Care Epsom & Leatherhead said:

“It’s never too early to do some research and find out what options are out there to enable you to live your older years just how you want to.”

How can I stay at home as I grow older?
