Nah, not that much. In terms of removing all the assisted living stuff, all I could see was the stairlift, which others have mentioned there's a second-hand market, and a grab rail in the shower, which you can probably remove and fill the holes and cover with sealant. There's also a chair so someone can sit in the shower, but that's removable. There might or might not be a grab rail by the loo or commode chair type thing over the loo, but that would be removable.
Or did I miss something?
Kitchens are how long is a piece of string. It doesn't have that many cupboards, so replacing like for like, ie just replacing the run on that wall wouldn't cost that much.
The ceilings in the sitting room and kitchen are dreadful though, there are polystyrene tiles, which would have to go at some point, and the fluorescent strip light in the kitchen.
What's that room next to the kitchen accessible by an external door? Is it a bin shed or utility room? Is that something you'd want to keep? Maybe secure storage for bikes?
If I was in your shoes, and if I bought that place, I wouldn't rush into redoing the kitchen. You could probably install an Ikea kitchen for £5k-ish. But if you did have £20-30k to spend, maybe if not right now, but maybe in a couple of year's time, then it might be worthwhile considering getting a bit of building work done, maybe installing French windows/patio doors and making it a kitchen/diner that opens onto the back garden? Open up the space, make indoors/outdoors flow a bit better?
So I wouldn't spend any money straight away on any big jobs, because it can be better to live in a place first. You could install a new kitchen now, just a like for like, and then in 18 months, you might wish you'd knocked through to that other little room. Or you might decide to install a new kitchen now and knock through while you're at it, but then in a couple of years from now, you're annoyed at bikes in the hallway, and wishing you hadn't knocked through. It's best to live in a place for a while and see what works and what doesn't.
I think the main thing is that it's livable in straight away. Yes, it could do with modernising and redecorating, but there's nothing there, that I can see, which screams no one can live there till xyz is done. Although, really, those ceilings have to go sooner, rather than later! (Having said that, I still have bloody woodchip wallpaper on some of my ceilings from the previous person. Grrr.)
The wallpaper borders is quite dated too. Ideally you'd want to strip and redecorate, but you could just leave as is, or paint over, just for now, you could do that quite cheaply. The decor is very dated, but it's not offensive. It's not like they've done up a suburban terrace with a Sistine chapel style ceiling mural, or they haven't installed fake beams and gone full cottagecore.
From the look of it, I don't think it's the kind of property where you'd have to spend £20-30k to make it liveable prior to moving in or as soon as you move in. Yeah, remove the stairlift. Maybe live with the shower grab rail for a while, it's not imperative to remove it, although you could. Other than that, the bathroom doesn't look too bad, in fact those kind of neutral big tiles are still in vogue for bathroom renovations, so it doesn't look as dated as the kitchen, you could keep the bathroom probably for a good few years yet, with the right accessories and dressing, to make it modern.
The kitchen, yeah, needs doing, but like I say, don't rush into it. So long as you can get a cooker, fridge/freezer and washing machine in there, as long as it's a functional kitchen, there's no hurry. Think of it as a longer term project, maybe knock through to that little room (unless you need it for bike storage/something else), think about getting a big door that opens up onto the back garden.
In the meantime, if you think you can't or don't want to live with the kitchen as is for a year or two, lots of people do budget transformations of kitchens for a couple of hundred quid, a lick of paint on the walls, painting doors, painting tiles or covering them with vinyl stickers, changing a worktop (or covering with vinyl), you could probably get an end of roll/offcut piece of cheap vinyl for the floor to modernise it a bit.

It looks like a lot of work, because every room needs decorating and it does need modernising, but it's got good bones and potential. It looks like it could be lived in straight away, and mostly could be brightened up with a relatively cheap lick of paint to start off with.
It's probably better to buy something like this and modernise, rather than buying one that someone else has modernised (maybe not to your exact taste), and they make the profit on that, you're paying for someone else to have done all that work, but you'd probably want to redecorate a modernised house anyway, and you might prefer a slightly different kitchen layout, etc.
So long as it's in the right location, that's the main thing. Location, location, location. Other stuff is changeable, fixer-upper-able, you can decorate, install a new kitchen, extend into loft or out the back, whatever, to suit your needs and tastes, but you can't change the location.
