Care and support

Ageing well


The effects of ageing affect everyone eventually and people with disabilities may face increased challenges and need extra support as they grow older. However, many people with disabilities stay healthy and socially active as they get older.

The Scope website has a section devoted to ageing and disability, which includes advice about therapies and links to related discussions in their online community.

The British Institute of Learning Disabilities (BILD) has a range of resources, covering topics such as staying active, health and wellbeing and dementia.
