Age Concern and Help the Aged are holding a week of action on 8th-12th June 2009, to promote the need for quality care for older people and they want you to be part of it!
The aim of the week is to get everyone talking about the issue of care and support.
While we and thousands of older people know the current care system is failing leaving many with poor quality care‚ politicians stay silent. Politicians are still refusing to accept they need to take responsibility and commit to improving the care system.
Over a million people aged 65 and over receive care and support. While many receive care and support that is of high quality‚ many do not. If you feel strongly about this issue or if you‚ or a relative‚ have an experience of care then you should think about taking part in our week of action.
