Age UK reports on the failing safety net

"The failing safety net for older people" is a report published by Age UK

Age UK have reported on how easy it is for older people to “‘fall off the health and care radar’ or not get on it in the first place, so they only receive help at crisis point”.

They say that the “The bottom line is simply that far too many older people still do not receive the coordinated, wrap-around support at home that they need. And the problem is becoming more pressing by the day. #

Over 65s accounted for more than half the increase in emergency hospital admissions in the last two years.”
