Older people
Stay active
Just because you're older and wiser there's no need to rest on
your laurels. There's plenty of things going on in Medway
to keep you busy post retirement, and support to get you
there. These are just a selection of possibilities. If there's
anything missing send an email to info@medway.gov.uk and we'll
get it added.
Stay healthy
Our Better Medway website has
lots of tips and information for all ages - from ideas on
staying active to diet and health advice. The Age UK website (the
new joint name for Age Concern and Help the Aged) also has some
useful tips.
Stay at home
We're all living longer and wanting to live independently for as
long as possible. Our Community Care pages have more information
on accessing a bit of extra help with every day tasks should
it be required as you get older. There is also support
available with house repairs plus community alarm systems
such as Medway Lifeline.
There's also a lot of information here for those researching
residential care and day
care options in Medway. If you are a carer - that includes
anyone looking after someone - take a look at our Respite Care
section.
Stay safe
This last section includes links to our Trading
Standards team. The Kent Police website
has useful advice on bogus
callers and other crime prevention
advice. We've also signposted you to a section dealing with
benefits, such as winter fuel
and cold weather payments. Just click on the
highlighted words to take you through to the right page.
