What should I know about NHS services for older adults?

The NHS offers a range of services specifically tailored for older adults to ensure they receive the care they need. This includes geriatric assessments, which evaluate the health and functioning of older individuals, and access to specialized services like dementia care. Older adults are also entitled to receive support for managing chronic conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease. It’s important for older adults and their families to communicate openly with healthcare providers about their needs and preferences. Remember, NHS services are available to support healthy aging.
