LIVE LIFE TO THE FULL

Sarah Hamilton-Walker & Hollie Webb-Hinton Older person becomes victim of CARE TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS


fraud every 40 seconds Official crime figures reveal that an older person in England and Wales becomes a victim of fraud every 40 seconds, according to new analysis by Age UK. With the latest figures showing reported fraud incidents increasing by 17% in a year to 3.8 million, people are now nearly three times more likely to be a victim of fraud than to be burgled and nearly 19 times more likely to be a victim of fraud than to be mugged. That’s why Age UK is calling for a new national strategy to tackle the growing problem of fraud.


The charity has developed a range of resources,


which provide practical steps to ensure older people are able to protect themselves against this type of crime in their home and on their doorstep. People looking for advice can call Age UK’s


free national advice line all year round on 0800 169 65 65 (lines are open 8am-7pm) or visit the website at ageuk.org.uk


Staying independent for as long as possible is an important part of maintaining the health and wellbeing of older people. With the right home care package in place, your loved one can enjoy as much independence as possible whilst also receiving the support they need in their own home. At TerraBlu, a local company with


a reputation for excellent staff, we provide all types of specialist care, whether a client needs help getting out and about, personal care, nutritional care or medical assistance. We are committed to enabling our clients to lead fulfilling, independent lives for as long as possible, and our services can delay or prevent the need for more intensive,


costly support in a nursing home. With carers chosen especially for their compassion, trustworthiness, reliability and motivation to care for others, a TerraBlu care plan can truly enhance a client’s quality of life. • For more information, call 01892 529429, visit terrablu.co.uk or email info@terrablu.co.uk
