The Health Alliance and Brighton Wellness Hub are proposing to start a project in partnership with local stakeholders which will help older people to remain living at home and active in their local community, by fostering age-friendly communities that deliver integrated services and supports.
A workshop was held at the Brighton Wellness Hub on 3rd December to gain feedback on the proposal.
We are now seeking feedback from those that couldn’t make the workshop and any additional ideas from those present.
The survey will take around 15-20mins and closes at 5pm Friday 9th January.
Background
6,500 people aged 65 year or older live in the 4017 postcode.
The number of older people is expected to double from 2022-23 to 2062-63 (and triple for those 85 and over).
The impact of a growing, older population and increased complexity on our health system means we will have to do things differently.
The health system can’t respond to those challenges on its own, there needs to be a whole of community response.
By working together to support older people we could achieve the following outcomes:
• Older people are supported to live well, safely, and independently in their own homes and communities for longer, with improved health and wellbeing, strong social connections, genuine choice and autonomy, and access to age-friendly neighbourhoods, services, and environments that enable dignity and participation across later life.
• The health and aged care system operates in a more integrated, efficient, and sustainable way, with fewer preventable hospital and emergency presentations, reduced reliance on residential aged care, stronger cross-sector coordination, and a robust evidence base to scale effective ageing-in-place models regionally and nationally.
