The Ageing Well programme was developed by ECC to better understand the challenges faced by adults with all forms of disability as they age. 

Using this learning we are seeking to shape the market to ensure these needs can be met now and in the future as more adults with disabilities reach older age and visible/non-visible differences are reaching older age. 

Who is within the scope? 

This programme is aimed at all care provision in Essex where support is being delivered to people with disabilities. 

Adults will be identified by ECC as meeting the criteria of ‘Ageing Well'.
