Help us help you or others you may know who may be needing support with:
Many older adults in our society suffer from loneliness – a painful, distressing feeling arising from perceptions of social isolation
Financial insecurity feeds on itself and accelerates because humans are sensitive to feelings of weakness and defeat.
Mobility problems may be unsteadiness while walking, difficulty getting in and out of a chair, or falls. Common in older people.
Support could include home help, assistance with personal cares, housing modifications, access to daily living aids.
If you're getting older, you may be finding it harder to cope on your own. There are support services available to support you.
Advance care planning is the process of thinking about, talking about and planning for future health care and end-of-life care.
