Ability Matters: Getting Older

Entire industries exist to cater to our wish to stay young, active, and significant. But what happens when concerns about aging start to impact our everyday lives? It might begin subtly with some arthritis or the need for longer naps, or it could occur abruptly following a fall or a life-altering diagnosis. However it arrives, if it does, it can be frightening and debilitating.

In this era of instant information, you would think finding the help and support we need would be quite easy. Local charities and groups do an incredible job assisting people through this intricate maze, but their support can be limited, fragmented, and sometimes inaccurate. Our cherished NHS, is struggling alongside her patients & local government, who are tasked with delivering other services, are undergoing more changes than we've seen in decades.

With all these things in mind we’ve decided that we must focus on helping local people navigate their way through the maze of changing healthcare needs.

Our directories of local organisations, crisis and financial support and regular posts, we will help us all to live our best lives right here in Staffordshire Moorlands.

We look forward to hearing about anything that you found that worked really well or issues you would like help in solving. You can contact us at our contact page.
