It's the International Day of Older Persons!

How do we transform the world to be a better place to grow older? ⬇️

#COVID19 & climate crisis has been hard on all of us – including for older people. We need systemic change for #HealthyAgeing.

If a person with dementia has to go into hospital for a stay, pack headphones in a style they like and a device with music or audiobooks that they enjoy. It can help keep them entertained, relaxed and block out unfamiliar noices. https://t.co/Y9LFyu1513
