Living well in later life is important for all of us. Older people’s expectations are changing. The ‘new old’ are healthier, more active, and more technologically engaged. To meet these changing expectations requires a wider mix of age friendly housing options and healthcare supports to suit diverse lifestyles. These housing options include both adapting existing homes to better suit peoples’ needs as they age, as well as building new housing developments, for sale and for rent, that are attractive and appealing to older people. An Age Friendly Home is a home that is suitable for use across the life course for people of all ages. It is particularly suitable for older people whose needs often change as they age. Age Friendly Homes incorporate key features such as level access and connection to the outdoors. They are integrated into the neighbourhood and are capable of incorporating assistive technology to support ageing in place. Developing Age Friendly Homes helps to future proof housing for an ageing population “It is not just about housing, it is about creating a community” Housing Agency, 2018 This website provides resources, guidance and links to other sources of information to support people to live well as they age. Here you will find information on new and existing homes, grants and funding, healthcare, design information, technology, public realm, regulations, policy and research.

Tá sé tábhachtach dúinn go léir go mbeimid compordach agus sláintiúil níos déanaí sa saol. Tá ionchais dhaoine breacaosta ag athrú. Tá na ‘seandaoine nua’ níos sláintiúla, níos gníomhaí agus baineann siad níos mó díobh úsáid as an teicneolaíocht. Chun freastal ar na hionchais seo atá ag athrú, tá gá le meascán níos leithne de roghanna tithíochta agus tacaíochtaí cúram sláinte atá aoisbháúil, agus a n-oirfidh do nósanna maireachtála éagsúla. I measc na roghanna tithíochta seo, is féidir tithe atá ann cheana féin a oiriúnú chun go n-oirfidh siad níos fearr do riachtanais dhaoine de réir mar a théann siad in aois, chomh maith le forbairtí tithíochta nua a thógáil, ar díol agus ar cíos, atá mealltach agus tarraingteach do dhaoine aosta. Is teach é Teach Aoisbháúil ar féidir le daoine de gach aois é a úsáid le linn an tsaoil ar fad. Oireann sé go háirithe do sheanóirí, ar dhaoine iad a n-athraíonn na riachtanais atá acu de réir mar a théann siad in aois. Sna Tithe Aoisbháúla, cuimsítear gnéithe tábhachtacha ar nós rochtain leibhéalta agus bheith ábalta dul isteach agus amach go héasca. Tá siad imeasctha sa cheantar agus is féidir teicneolaíocht chúnta a chuimsiú iontu a thacóidh leis an aosú in áit. Cabhraíonn Tithe Aoisbháúla le forbairt tithíochta a sheasfaidh an aimsir do dhaonra atá ag dul in aois. “Ní bhaineann sé leis an tithíocht amháin, tá pobal á chruthú anseo freisin” An Ghníomhaireacht Tithíochta, 2018 Cuireann an suíomh gréasáin seo acmhainní, treoir agus nascanna ar fáil le haghaidh foinsí eile eolais chun tacú le daoine maireachtáil go maith de réir mar a théann siad in aois. Gheobhaidh tú eolas anseo mar gheall ar thithe nua agus reatha, deontais agus cistiú, cúram sláinte, eolas maidir le dearadh, le teicneolaíocht, an ríocht phoiblí, rialacháin, polasaí agus taighde.
