LinkAge Plus: Benefits for older people
by Guy DalyThis second thematic report on the evaluation of LinkAge Plus (LAP) focuses on how the LAP approach and pilot activities result in a range of benefits for older people. The report's author finds that the LAP approach is contributing to the improvement of older people's quality of life, healthy life expectancy and active participation in society.
Initiatives have been developed by the eight pilot sites to promote social inclusion and tackle isolation as well as improving access to services that promote safety and wellbeing. The final reports from the evaluation of LAP will include an examination of the cost effectiveness of the approach.
