Age UK are now calling for people to switch from what would be acute hospital care to prevention-based care. If you work in private nursing, then you will know how important it is to make sure that everyone is given the standard of care that they deserve. If you work in private nursing, work with social workers or even support people with their mental health then you will understand that more has to be done to try and offer support for older people. If this can be done, then the pressure from the older population could well be alleviated which would mean that it is easier to look after those who are genuinely in need. Age UK have released a statement saying that in the year 2019, there was a total of 855,000 new admissions for older people. If the older people received the right standard of support from an earlier date, before the small health problems turned into something more severe then this would be much easier, and people would not need as much clinical support. The report says that there are now glimmers of hope and that the community Falls Services are doing everything they can to give support to those who really need it. Right now, the availability is somewhat patchy though and this is making it much more difficult for people to get the kind of care that they need. Discharges play a vital part in the care sector and right now, it is helping people to live well at home. With enough funds for home-based care, it would seem that it is more than possible for people to live a longer and happier life. More has to be done though, to facilitate this happening so keep that in mind when following this story.
