Socially excluded older people and their access to health and care services: insights from professionals

Socially excluded older people and their access to health and care services: insights from professionals In this report Age UK and the Salvation Arm, together with people who are socially excluded and key professionals, explore some of the challenges older people face when accessing support. Themes the research highlighted are: older people who are socially excluded are living with complex health challenges; existing support services often don't meet the needs of older people; unhealthy behaviours present a greater risk as we get older; and older people face certain attitudes and stereotypes.
