Making It Happen
To fully implement delivery and realise the benefits, we must invest in our workforce, explore advancing technology solutions and embed it all within robust evaluation, research and development methodology. The NENC Ageing Well Network believe we could all potentially live longer and better at home, if we start to think differently about ageing, embrace and promote healthy-ageing and design and provide services (when needed) that are ‘age-friendly’ at or close to people’s homes in times of stability and crisis. As a network we have tried to support this shift, by offering system thinking, learning and sharing driven by places. We recognise that no ‘one-size’ fits all and change must be ‘bottom-up’ through responsible leadership that embraces relational connections, sharing and finding a common purpose.
