Are you over 65 and worried about falling?

• Have you fallen in the last 12 months?
• Do you feel unsteady when standing or walking?
• Do you worry about falling?

This gentle exercise programme helps you improve your strength, balance and mobility.

We will start by providing you with a screening assessment and create a plan to help you. You will then work with a qualified Health Coach to learn exercises that will help you feel more stable.

The simple exercises are designed for older adults and are adaptable to match all abilities and circumstances. Most of them can be done seated if required.

We’re here to challenge ageism and discrimination and tackle the inequalities that exist in older age. We will focus our resources on the critical areas of health and care, loneliness and poverty and concentrate our efforts where we will have the greatest impact and reach.

Whatever happens as we get older, we all want to remain independent and live life on our own terms. That’s why, as well as offering regular friendly contact and a strong campaigning voice, Independent Age can provide you and your family with clear, free and impartial advice on the issues that matter: care and support, money and benefits, health and mobility, bereavement and more….

With older people at the heart of everything we do, we want to share with you, our friends and supporters, our campaign work as we strive to make the United Kingdom a better place in which to grow old.

Cheshire East Carers’ Hub provides a single point of access for all Carers including both young and adult Carers. The Hub exists to ensure that Carers of all ages have access to information, advice and a wide range of support services. These support services are designed to help Carers continue in their caring role for as long as they choose and to reduce the impact the caring role can have on a Carers own health and wellbeing.

Please see quotes from those who have used the Carers Hub and the help it has given them.

Support can include:

• 1-2-1 or group based support
• Peer support
• Support to take a break or access funds/grants
• Access to counselling
• Access to a 24 hour CHAT Line manned by other Carers
• Support to access community health and wellbeing services
• Access to activities, training, a living well-fund and much more

Anyone who thinks they are a carer can register with the Carers Hub by calling 0300 303 0208, emailing enquiries@cheshireeastcarershub.co.uk or by visiting cheshireeastcarershub.co.uk.

We can support young and adult Carers who either live in Cheshire East, care for a Cheshire East resident or are registered with a GP in East or South Cheshire. Our Young Carers Practitioners are Cara and Cathryn.

HERE IS OUR YOUNG CARERS LEAFLET

Coffee and Chats : Hopefully these will resume soon when Covid-19 restrictions allow.

Meet and chat with other Carers, speak to a Carers Support Worker and take a well-earned break from your caring role whilst enjoying a coffee. If you have never been to a Coffee and Chat before don’t worry! Everyone has been a “first timer”. A friendly Carers Support Worker will be there to greet you and offer you a warm introduction.

Age UK Cheshire offers a free and confidential information and advice service for older people, their families and carers.

Each year up to £3.5bn of Pension Credit and Housing Benefit goes unclaimed by older people. Let us help make it easier. Age UK Cheshire’s Information and Advice Telephone Service can offer help on a range of issues, including benefits like Pension Credit, Attendance Allowance, Carers Allowance and Personal Independence Payment. Age UK’s Benefits Calculator can help you find out what benefits you could be owed. It’s free to use and the details you provide are kept anonymous.

Arranging social care can be a challenge. From knowing where to start, to what type of care and support you need and who pays for it, there are lots of questions to ask. But you’re not alone — we’re here to help you through the process. We can help you with information on finding and arranging social care, paying for care, housing options, problems with care, and help for carers looking after a loved one.

You can also phone our Information and Advice Telephone Service to find out more about the wide range of services we offer here at Age UK Cheshire.
