Health and safety
- Can daily activities be done safely without assistance?
- Is emergency help available quickly?
- Are stairs, bathrooms, and entrances manageable?
Support and independence
- Who provides help today, and how sustainable is that?
- Would additional support be affordable if needed?
- Does current living allow for social connection?
Financial clarity
- What are the true long-term costs of staying vs moving?
- Are modifications, maintenance, or care underestimated?
- Is flexibility preserved if circumstances change?
Final thought
A good decision is one that remains workable even when conditions change.
Planning early makes that possible.
