Ageing Well

- Have a strong voice in influencing local policy and services
- Take and maintain responsibility for their lives
- Remain healthy and active
- Retain their independence
- Be able to access services
- Benefit from and contribute through employment, volunteering and learning
- Live in a safe environment that maintains links with family and friends
- Maintain their roles as partners, carers, grandparents, employees
