Dementia diagnosis and support
Community support if you’re socially isolated
The Age Better Bucks service is for older adults (65+) who want to maintain their independence and wellbeing.
Eligibility criteria
The service is for people who:
- are aged 65 and over
- live in Buckinghamshire
- would benefit from preventative support to stay well and independent
They're unable to support clients who:
- are currently receiving a package of care from Buckinghamshire Adult Social Care
- are residents in care homes or supported living
- have already accessed the service in the current calendar year
What the service offers
The service includes a visit from a friendly member of ageUK staff who will talk to you to try and understand your situation and your goals.
From that conversation, they help create a personalised plan which could help you to:
- build connections with other people or groups
- adapt to changes in your health or mobility
- cope with bereavement
- get online and use technology
- build new routines
Getting support
You can refer yourself or someone else to the service, whether they are a friend, family member or client.
