Advice on how to stay well at home
Advice on how to stay well at home will be available at an event being held later this month at the Merry Hill Centre.
Dudley Council’s living well, feeling safe partnership advisors will be in the lower mall near the customer service desk on Friday April 19 from 9am to 3pm.
The living well, feeling safe service works to support vulnerable or older people to stay safe, healthy, well and independent in their homes.
The event is ideal for anyone who wants to feel healthier, is feeling lonely or needs to make improvements around the home.
The team will be offering advice on home safety including pendant and personal alarms as well as adaptations.
They can also direct people to support for dementia patients, unpaid carers, weight management and also activities going on in the community that help tackle loneliness.
Matt Bowsher, director of adult social care, said:
We’ve held events like this one at Merry Hill before and they have always proved popular with visitors to the centre, and I hope next week’s event is no exception.
This is an opportunity for people to meet face-to-face with advisors and have an informal chat about their needs and find out what support could be available to them.
Further information about the living well, feeling safe team can also be found online.
