What am I voting on in the survey?
We’ve identified six key areas that are of concern to people with elderly loved ones. This feedback comes from our Care Advisors, customer service and clinical teams.
Health/illness - That your loved one’s health will rapidly decline, be it from contracting the flu, COVID-19, a serious respiratory illness or something else.
Injury - That your loved one will slip, fall, or sustain an injury at home. Find out how to make a home safer for the elderly and prevent common accidents.
Loneliness - That winter weather will prevent visitors, leading to increased loneliness or isolation. Read our guide to spotting the signs of loneliness in the elderly.
Accessing health services - That your loved one will not be able to see a GP or nurse in a timely manner if illness or fall occurs.
Heating - That they will be unable to afford, or due to inadequate support, be able to keep themselves warm at home.
Supplies - That they may struggle to get groceries, medication or other essentials because of the weather or mobility.
