Care & Repair produced a series of guides for people thinking about their later life housing and care. These include practical activities and decision checklists for those who are starting to think ahead about possible later life options.

This 'Thinking Ahead' workbook is a 'teach yourself' resource which you can work through online in your own time.    

It outlines the main housing & care options that may be available to you in later life, and factors to consider when thinking about making changes.
