Buying a ‘home for life plan’, or ‘lifetime lease’, gives you the right to live in a property until you die or move to a care home. This might enable you to live somewhere you couldn’t otherwise afford. If you have a home to sell, you may be able to use the proceeds to pay the deposit on a new property and take out a ‘lifetime mortgage’ to cover the rest of the cost. A move may provide a whole new lease of life, but a wrong choice can be difficult to undo.
We frame our offer around ‘home’ because we understand its importance for everyone. But also because planning ahead may be needed to ensure that where you live now is ‘age proofed’, and that if you wish to consider moving, you have good information and advice to help you understand all your options. Both ownership and rental options are commonly available, as well as alternative ways of paying for the services on offer – including part deferring payment until a property is sold. The residents are encouraged to be as independent as possible but help is always available if and when required. Each resident is respected as an individual and privacy is given at all times.

They are provided by many local Age UKs as well as other organisations. Some care homes are registered to provide personal care only, for example help with washing, dressing and giving medication. Others also provide nursing, and will have a nurse on duty twenty-four hours a day. The Society offers personal and nursing care for the elderly in a homely and safe environment with freedom to come and go as they please.
A care home is a residential setting where a number of older people live, usually in single rooms or hotel-style suites, because they need regular or continuous access to care. Generally the whole complex will be designed with attention to accessibility for residents with restricted mobility. Most retirement developments offer either properties for sale or for rent, but newer ones may offer both tenure options, and possibly shared ownership too.

Care homes are regulated by independent Inspectorates in each country of the UK, subject to periodic inspections and awarded quality grades. Inspectorate reports and grades are accessible from the care home pages on this website. With a few exceptions, accommodation in a care home cannot be bought or rented like retirement housing. Think of them more like full-board hotel accommodation with 24 hour care available. Housing-with-care developments run by housing associations and local authorities tend to be called ‘extra care’ or ‘independent living’ schemes, and explicitly seek to accommodate people who need daily help.
The older part of the house is a 'B' listed building and the Society has been careful to retain as much of the original building as possible in order to provide a welcoming and homely atmosphere. If this is your business, you can claim it and manage the information shown to care seekers. Set up an account and claim your listing, to update your company name, address, telephone number and service information. But choosing to move into supported living accommodation doesn't have to mean losing your independence. In fact, many of our residents tell us it feels like a new beginning. Our National Housing for Older People Awards celebrate examples of successful retirement housing and housing-with-care.
Residents can become involved in any social aspect within the House and are encouraged to become involved in the running of the House. We think it’s important you have detailed, comprehensive information so that you can decide which care providers to shortlist. Accommodation, meals, and assistance with personal care and medication.
We’ll research on your behalf and find you the right care, at the right cost - turning stress into straightforward. EAC sees itself, and this website, as one source of ‘housing options’ information and advice for older people and their families. But there are many other organisations providing valuable services, both locally and nationally. It includes all 11,500 registered care homes in the UK that cater exclusively or primarily for older people. There is no charge whatsoever to appear in it, and we welcome a photo and descriptive text to enhance the presentation of your home.
A challenge we all face as we get older is to think about where we live, and how it will work for us when we’re older. If you intend to ‘stay put’ where you are, then thinking and planning ahead makes sense. Contact with the wider Community is encouraged if the residents so wish. The staff are aware of the importance of confidentiality regarding residents' private matters.
