You are 55 years young, or more!

We want to celebrate age, provide answers about health, ageing, services available locally and we want you to know about them too! We want to ensure that there are opportunities for us all to age well and experience a more positive and healthier older age.

The population of Suffolk is growing older and it is increasingly important for older people to take an active role in looking after their health and well-being. Give yourself a head-start by protecting yourself mentally and physically, by learning to recognise the possible signs of illness and by having regular health checks and screening tests.

This handbook has been put together by local healthcare professionals. It does not have all the answers but it can help point you in the right direction. It cannot replace specialist care, so you need to seek medical advice if you are worried. We hope this information will help you to choose the best services for you and your needs.

You can download all the information as a handbook here A Guide to keeping healthy and happy in later life
