Function
The Age Well Partnership is responsible for taking forward the Regional Partnership Board’s work to strengthen and transform services for older people in Powys.
Wellbeing
- We will support older people to be as active as possible, through volunteering, physical and mental exercise.
- We will encourage people to plan for their future, and to take action that reduces the incidence and progression of life-limiting conditions such as dementia.
- We will support a range of accommodation options and access to them for people in older life.
Early Help & Support
- We will utilise technology so older people can self-care and remain independent, and to encourage greater social inclusion.
- For carers we will continue to develop services to meet the holistic needs of the family and provide adequate respite care.
- We will help people to overcome loneliness and social isolation and be an active member of their community.
Tackling the Big Four
- We will develop effective services to treat and support people suffering from the four main causes of ill health and premature mortality in Powys:
- cancer
- circulatory diseases
- respiratory disease
- mental health problems
- We will also develop support to reduce the incidence and impact of the diseases in later life.
Joined Up Care
- We will support health and care teams to work seamlessly with older people to get things right first time and prevent needs from escalating.
- We will review existing health and care services and invest in health and care environments that meet future needs – providing choice, accessibility & co-ordinated services.
- We will work with partners to safeguard residents.
