Adjusting to new circumstances
Some older people when they leave hospital may find that they no longer are able to cope or feel comfortable with their prior circumstances. The house may need adaptations, you may feel you want to move to somewhere where there is a warden to keep an eye on you or you might want to just downsize or move into a bungalow. Age Concern Liverpool & Sefton provides, through its trusted partners, advice and support on financial matters and equity release to help with affordability. We are also able to arrange stair lifts, which will make all parts of your home accessible again.
