I don't have a large home, but since I only live with my brother, my guns are close to get access on. If I'm about to leave, or I just got home, I'd be wearing clothes suitable for carry outside and I'd be strapped. It's only when I'm completely relaxed/ready to sleep/etc is when I'm not actually carrying a gun at home.
I recommend people to dry fire and practice how their guns handle inside their home, what it's like to walk down your hallways with your gun out at night and know where everything is inside and out so if it does happen, your movements are instinct.
I practice with my brother when he actually has time. We usually just go over where we'd be and how we get to each other and protocol for calling the cops while we wait in defense. We do practice clearing our house, but only as a last resort. We usually wait in defensive positions in our rooms with phone in hand and gun in the other. My brother actually has his car keys nearby and he said if there's a definite intruder, he would turn his car alarm on after calling the cops.
A car alarm or even home alarm might not deter a criminal coming in, but it is loud and attracts people. It's also a good beacon for the cops. My brother would rehearse telling the cops our address and that his car alarm is set off.

You'd bet I'll get my gun back. I know many guys who get their guns back after using them or even presenting them to threats. It takes time, but I'll pay that price.
