Helping Warwickshire adults to live well Posted on 31 Oct 2022

A new ‘living well’ resource is now available on Warwickshire County Council’s website which brings a wide range of information and services from the council, aimed at adults, into one place and can be a great signposting tool to support people to be as safe, happy, healthy and independent as possible.

Currently, the steep rise in living costs is having a major impact on household budgets and people’s health and wellbeing is suffering as many residents are finding it hard to make ends meet. Living well signposts people to information and advice that could make taking care of an individual’s needs, and those of their family and friends, a bit easier.

The webpage also promotes healthy lifestyles and encourages individuals to take early action to stay well. From staying active and mobile to using direct payments to get assistance, ‘living well’ will raise the profile of social care services in the county, help people to find ways to stay healthy for as long as possible, and signpost those who are vulnerable to early support.

By providing access to assistance, like smart gadgets and equipment that can help people before their situation becomes more complex, the aim of ‘living well’ is to support people to continue to enjoy life and live independently, reducing their need for hospital or long-term care.

The website encourages residents to find information, advice and services in the county that will enhance their wellbeing, connect with others and link them to activities such as learning new skills or keeping fit for the future. Visit www.warwickshire.gov.uk/livingwell to find out more.
