Whether staying or moving, it is important to know what to look for.
Adaptability is the key issue.
It may be important to live near shops, schools, library, post office, college, surgery or other services. The kitchen should be large enough to move around in a wheelchair or walking frame if necessary and to allow extra cupboards to be fitted, if the height of the worktops is lowered. Gardens can be a great source of pleasure - but remember they need regular attention. Straight flights of stairs, with rails, are easy to use and stairlifts can be fitted to them. South facing living rooms are warmer in winter and save on bills.
