Our latest winter care concerns Survey
As winter sets in, new data from Elder highlights what UK families fear most for their older loved ones. With cold homes contributing to 21.5% of excess winter deaths and flu-related deaths more than doubling this year, supporting older adults has never been more important.
That’s why Elder has partnered with Age UK London and Carents to raise awareness and provide practical tools to help families keep their loved ones safe, warm and well.
