ALL islanders over 60 will be targeted in a study aimed at determining future housing and health and social care provision for the elderly.
It will be the largest and most comprehensive survey into the attitudes, opinions, hopes and fears of older people and more than 14,000 questionnaires will be sent out this week.
States director of older people’s housing, care and support Lois King said the research would produce vital input. ‘First of all it will let us have vital information about the older people we are trying to assist as it’s critical that we know direct from them what they consider to be important in their lives,’ she said.
