It’s a first-of-its-kind initiative to support 10,500 senior citizens annually in maintaining their independence
Older adults will benefit from timely interventions under this joint Health and Local Government programme which is estimated to save the State €41.5 million yearly by preventing hospitalisation and premature or unnecessary admission to long-term residential care
Through coordinated support services they will look at the areas in around Housing, Health, Community, Technology, Finance and Energy
