Upcoming project to better understand what it means to reach the end of your life at home

Living at Home

The aim of this project is to better understand the origins of the policy drive for and people’s preference of living at home towards the end of their life; how different housing types and tenures shape their experience of being at home for patients who have advanced progressive illness, their families and friends, and health and social care professionals; and what changes could be made to housing design, plans, policies, and practice to better support people reaching the end of their lives at home.
