Short profile:
Age UK York has been working with and for older people in York for 40 years. We provide a wide range of personal and practical support.
Detailed description:
Age Concern York can offer help and support with a range of housing problems. Staff are available to visit and discuss specific issues or give general advice. Age Concern York organises Day Clubs, offering older people an attractive social meeting place, hot lunch, refreshments and interesting activities.
The Hospital Services Scheme provides support to older people, who live alone, in what can be difficult weeks after being discharged from hospital. We can ensure they have shopping on their return home or organise for a volunteer to stay overnight for up to 3 nights if they are anxious about being on their own.
Volunteers can continue to visit for several weeks giving time and companionship, help with shopping and going out for a walk
