Supports for older adults Sample Clauses

Supports for older adults. ‌ Social inclusion of older adults is a major concern for older Europe. According to Xxxxx et al. (2013), Eastern European older adults are significantly more excluded than the rest of the European population, with material deprivation, health, and interpersonal exclusion as the most concerning areas. More recently, data from the European Social Survey (Xxx, 2021) indicates significant regional differences in the social exclusion and subjective well-being of older Europeans. While the Nordic nations display higher degrees of social inclusion, Central and Eastern Europeans reported lower levels of subjective well-being and higher levels of social exclusion. General health, happiness and life satisfaction were interlinked with the availability of, and access to, material resources and basic services (ibid). Considering that good health is inter-alia correlated to the degree of available support for older adults, it is pivotal to put in place an orchestrated, committed response to ageing (Kalache, 1999). Support for older adults is available through a range of governmental and non-governmental initiatives, such as adult day-care centres, assisted living facilities, meal delivery as well as educational and religious spaces. Moreover, following the current processes of digitalisation of society, online support communities, such as “xxxxxxxxx.xxx” (Xxxxx et al., 2011) are also available to the wider community. Whether face-to-face or online, those services can provide positive social support, helping older adults to meet their needs and alleviate the usually serious, unpleasant consequences of loneliness and isolation. In the UK, for example, addressing the unmet needs of older adults has become a public health priority due to over-challenged formal and informal health care systems (Xxxx et al., 2019). The needs of older adults consist of social activities (including relationships), general psychological health, activities related to mobility, self-care and domestic life. However, lack of professional advice on self-care strategies, poor communication and coordination of services, and lack of information on the latter constitute environmental factors that may hinder one’s efforts to experience active and healthy ageing (ibid). Xxxx et al.’s (2019) findings are closely related to Bowling’s (2008), who collected and identified older adults’ perceptions of active ageing in Britain (337 interviewees aged 65+). The study shows that the participants’ perceptions of ac...
