WESTMEATH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Westmeath Community Development supports older people, who were living in isolation, to connect with others in the community, and to stay in their own homes for longer. Their Live Longer and Prosper programme includes – a befriending call service, a home visit service, and a home repairs service. Supported by SICAP, it has now expanded to nine locations.
It makes it possible for older people to stay in their own homes for longer.
It provides assistance that otherwise is very expensive for older people and, as a result, more people can live independent fulfilled lives, and maintain their autonomy at home.
