People over the age of 55 in Histon & Impington are being invited to complete an online questionnaire to help gauge support needs for elderly residents. The aim is to help people remain living independently and happily in their own home for longer.
A pilot of the Care Together scheme in East Cambridgeshire identified the need for early intervention initiatives such as more social groups for hobbies and exercise, as well as increased provision for local homecare and day opportunities for people over 65.
The scheme is a Cambridgeshire County Council initiative being run in collaboration with local partners, community groups and residents. It has helped identify that support was needed for those older people living with long-term conditions and in need of longer-term care.
The Council hopes the scheme will change the way care and support for older people in the community is commissioned and delivered in the future.
Complete the online questionnaire here. The deadline for responses is 15 April 2023. If you don’t have access to the internet, call 01954 286 002 or 07771 545 674 (Mon-Fri, 9am-2pm) to answer questions over the phone or request a paper copy.
