Older people

In addition to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and quality of life, older people may also have additional health and social needs.

They tend to be more vulnerable to illnesses like the flu.  

Also, too many elderly people in Nottinghamshire fall and fracture their hip.  This can adversely impact on their confidence and mobility. Find out more about falls.

NHS Nottinghamshire County aims to provide some services specifically for older people, helping them stay as well as they can for as long as possible.
