So while every older person is different, we're more likely to require care & support the longer we live.
If we want to maximise the opportunities offered by longer lives, being able to access good quality care is essential. #UNIDOP
But are we prepared to provide this care?

We'll all require support to care for ourselves at some point in our lives.
This year's #OlderPersonsDay asks: so why is it more difficult to access quality care in older age, when we're more likely to need it?

UN Decade of Healthy Ageing Progress Report 2023 - The Platform
In 2023, the United Nations (UN) published a comprehensive public facing progress report on the implementation of the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing. This progress report was developed by UN agencies, with inputs from the broad range of stakeholders involved in making the Decade a success. The report aims to highlight the experiences of stakeholders during the first three years of the Decade’s implementation, sharing the knowledge and resources being developed to support healthy ageing.

Let's start with some facts. #UNIDOP
🔎 We're living longer – but not healthier. According to @WHO, older people still experience unmet care needs whether they live in low-, middle- or high-income countries.
🔎 Around 2 in 3 older people are likely to require care & support.

Ageist stereotypes that incorrectly assume poor health is inevitable in older age are also commonly held by care professionals & older people themselves.
This prevents many older people from receiving care that could help them be & do what they value. #UNIDOP #AWorld4AllAges
