Our population is ageing faster in Scotland than in the rest of the UK, and as people grow older their housing needs can change. This might require some simple adaptations to make homes more accessible, technology to support day-to-day activities, or planning to move to a more suitable home that’s closer to family or local amenities, or easier to manage.

Age Scotland’s National Housing Survey 2023 survey found that:

• 37 per cent of respondents didn’t think that their home would be suitable in the next ten years.
• 20 per cent said they needed an adaptation to their home and over half of these had waited more than four months.
