This guide to rightsizing was developed based on research carried out on behalf of Age
Friendly Ireland in 2020. This booklet is intended for older people and their families who
are considering their housing options in later life. It is not intended to be an exhaustive
list, rather a guidance document with some useful information and telephone numbers.
The content of the guide was drawn from the research process, which included case
studies with older people, interviews with agencies and service providers, literature
review and a survey. The guide will help to support the work of Healthy Age Friendly
Homes Programme (Phase 1).
