“as demographic realities and perpetual medical advances combine to support longer
lives,our challenge is to ensure longer means better quality of life not simply living –
our shared mission”.
“…to create a system which offers high quality personalised services where power and control
are transferred from professionals and organisations to those who use services, their
families and carers….”
(Ivan Lewis, MP)
Bury Adult Care Services share this vision.
We celebrate our older generation by acknowledging the expertise and knowledge they can bring and we want to learn from their experiences.
There are numerous opportunities for older people to become involved in influencing outcomes including involvement in a range of well-established community groups including:
