Staying healthy and growing old well
Help at home, so people can live on their own for longer.
The problem
Many households find health insurance too dear. Older people want to stay at home as long as they can. Often there is not enough help day to day. Homes that suit them are rare too. Hospitals, doctors and home care do not work together enough.
My position
Good care must stay affordable. People who want to live at home should get the help they need. Hospitals, doctors and home care should share their data safely. That means fewer tests done twice.
What I promise
- You can live on your own at home for longer.
- You do not tell your story again at each doctor.
What I will do
- Homes for older people near the centre
- Link hospitals and doctors online
- Help with premiums for those who need it
What I have already done
On the town council I asked how long older people wait for home care.
How long do older people wait for home care?
I asked how quickly older people in Uster get help from home care services. The town government's answer shows gaps at weekends.
Do you agree?
