The needs of older people, whether current or future, affect everyone including older people, families, friends and carers.
The term ‘ageing positively’ was developed to reflect the aspirations of people to plan for and approach life’s changes as they age, in a positive and active manner. The term embraces the idea of making the most of opportunities which promote a persons sense of independence, dignity, good health and contribution to society.
Wakefield Together, the name for the Wakefield district partnership, are working on how we can achieve positively ageing for all our residents. A strategy and action plan has been developed with local groups and organisations. This will help shape future services, support and facilities available to help us all age more positively.
