Making adjustments in a home or moving to a better and more suitable house takes time and energy. It is therefore important that plans for house adjustments should be anticipated and should be designed to be suitable for expected change for at least the next 10 years. An adjusted environment can help a person mature, preserve and learn independence. The number of technical solutions is gradually increasing and some of these solutions are available to the general population and therefore have proved slightly less costly than adaptations in the past.

It is important to make early home assessments to create an anticipatory plan for home adjustments.
