The New Ageing Report: Supporting older adults to stay at home in Nottingham
Discover how Home Instead Nottingham supports the preferences of older adults to remain at home, as highlighted by Home Instead UK New Ageing Index Research.
The New Ageing Index & How We Support Older Adults to Stay at Home in Nottingham
As our population ages, the preferences of older adults are becoming increasingly clear: many wish to remain in their own homes, for as long as possible, even when facing health challenges.
The recent Home Instead New Ageing Index Research highlights these preferences, and Home Instead Nottingham is at the forefront of providing the quality of home care support and companionship needed to make this possible for older adults in our local area.
The New Ageing Index Research reveals that a significant majority of UK adults prioritise independence in their later years.
A striking 80% of respondents indicated that they would prefer to be treated at home if they were ill, and 54% believe that the home is currently under-utilised as a base for treatment.
This strong desire for home-based care reflects a broader trend where 44% of people expressed greater concern about the possibility of ending up in a care home than they did about the death of a partner.
These findings highlight the importance of providing care that allows older adults to maintain their independence and stay in the comfort of their own homes for as long as possible.
