Age Concern Jersey seeks to support the older Jersey population in mitigating or overcoming the known difficulties faced by many in later years –
• declining physical health and/or fitness
• declining mental health and/or acuity
• loneliness, whether occasioned by physical isolation within the
home, distance from family or any other factor
• loss of confidence, occasioned by the above
• financial hardship
Age Concern Jersey does this by providing a range of services to mentally and physically stimulate, and empower, the elderly –
[*] group exercise classes which contribute to better physical fitness
[*] group activities, such as outings which provide mental
stimulation and social interaction
[*] group arts and crafts classes and singing, which provide an
opportunity for social interaction and contribute to mental wellbeing
[*] ad hoc talks informing about eligibility for benefits
[*] lunches at Windsor House, which provide an opportunity for
social interaction and a nutritious hot meal at a reasonable price
[*] the frozen meal service which provides nutritious meals at a
reasonable price, delivered to the door;
[*] transport facilities, enabling attendance at these activities by
those who would otherwise be unable to attend/have difficulty in
attending Windsor House
[*] Windsor House, generally, as a place where the elderly are free
to drop in on weekdays and will be assured of a friendly face and
companionship
