Helping Older People in Hampshire Live and Age Well

ACH Saturday Opening

Age Concern Hampshire offer a varied range of options to support older people in the county to live and age well.

The charity’s Care and Wellbeing Centres make a significant difference to the lives of older individuals by providing vital services that promote health, wellbeing, social connection and independence.

Maintaining physical activity, mental engagement, and social connections becomes increasingly important as we age, playing a key role in supporting overall health and wellbeing. Age Concern Hampshire’s wellbeing groups and Care and Wellbeing Centres offer a variety of stimulating activities and a welcoming environment designed to nurture both mind and body.

Loneliness and social isolation remain significant challenges for many older people, particularly those living alone. The charity addresses this through its Care and Wellbeing Centres, which offer safe, friendly spaces where individuals can build friendships, share meals, and take part in meaningful activities.

In addition, the Help at Home service offers practical in-home support with everyday tasks such as cleaning, shopping, and companionship. This enables older people to maintain their independence, remain in the comfort of their own homes, and reduce feelings of isolation.

Family carers also benefit from tailored day care services at the Care & Wellbeing Centres, including specialist support for those caring for loved ones living with dementia. These services offer much-needed respite and peace of mind.

Each centre also offers a professional foot care service, which provides professional toenail cutting and basic foot health checks. Delivered by fully qualified Foot Health Practitioners, the service is available at various locations across Hampshire as well as at our centres, supporting mobility, comfort and overall independence for older people. 

“Our mission is to support older people across Hampshire to live well and age well,” said Una Davey, Head of Commercial at Age Concern Hampshire. “Through a wide range of services including Care and Wellbeing Centres, Foot Care, Help at Home and Wellbeing Services, we aim to promote independence, reduce isolation and improve quality of life for individuals and their families.”

Providing Essential Support for Independent Living 

Help at Home

As the UK’s ageing population continues to grow, maintaining independence in later life has become a significant priority for older adults and their families. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), by 2041, there will be more than 20 million people aged 65 and over in the UK. This increasing number of older adults highlights the growing demand for services that help individuals maintain their independence at home. 

Age Concern Hampshire is addressing this need through their Help at Home service, which is designed to support older people in living independently and comfortably in their own homes. The charity’s professional and friendly Home Helpers offer tailored support to make everyday tasks more manageable for older individuals. 

Research shows that 4.3 million older people in the UK live alone, and many experience challenges in managing daily tasks as they age. For many, staying in their own homes is a top priority. Age Concern Hampshire’s Help at Home service ensures that older adults can continue to live in comfort while maintaining a high quality of life. 

 

Help at Home

 

“Our Home Helpers are passionate about offering tailored support that enables older people to live independently and comfortably in their own homes,” said Hannah Park, Head of Operations at Age Concern Hampshire. “Our services are personalised to meet the specific needs of each individual, empowering them to maintain their independence.” 

The Help at Home service offers a range of support, including help with housework, laundry, shopping, meal preparation, companionship, trips out, dog walking, and more. For further details, or to arrange an assessment call 01962 868545.
