About Age Friendly Europe

Age Friendly Europe exists to help older adults — and the families who care about them — live safely and independently. We publish plain-language guides to safety technology, healthy ageing, and the European initiatives that make towns and cities better places to grow older.

This domain has a history: it once served the European AFE-INNOVNET network behind the Covenant on Demographic Change. We keep that spirit alive in our Covenant section while adding the practical, product-focused guidance families ask for today.

How we review products

  • Every specification and price comes from the manufacturer's own page or listing — never from memory.
  • We show real product photographs from the manufacturer, credited in the page source.
  • Every review lists cons as well as pros, and notes UK/EU availability.
  • We write for real readers: short sentences, large text, no jargon.
  • We do not give medical advice — always consult a healthcare professional.

How this site is funded

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions never decide what we recommend: products earn their place in our guides on merit, and we say so plainly when something has drawbacks.
