Action for Ageing

Action for Ageing provides 297 action steps that you can take, starting today, to help improve the safety, health and wellbeing of your ageing loved ones. The sooner people take a positive, proactive approach towards healthy ageing and preparation for the opportunities and challenges of later life, the better off everyone will be. There are over 50 important elder care and wellbeing topics such as dementia and Alzheimer's, fall prevention, dignity, working, nutrition, volunteering and home safety that are comprehensively and entertainingly covered. Action for Ageing raises awareness of the impact that ageing can have on individuals and their families and the importance of preparation and preventative action. Along with action steps, this book identifies helpful resources for an improved later life. Action for Ageing is co-authored by Chris Minett and Robin Minett. Robin has been caring for seniors for over fifty years, of which twenty years have been in a full-time, professional capacity. Robin's alter-ego 'Carer Min' brings her older people care experiences to life via wonderful anecdotes sprinkled with warmth, common sense and humour providing an enjoyable read on very important subjects. This book is for anyone who wishes to take action to help make theirs and their loved one's later life as long, independent and enjoyable as possible.
