Age Concern

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
