A joint Approach?

 Empower Older Adults and provide opportunities  Provide safe environments that promote independence not dependence  Allow choice of high quality responsive services Our Vision: To enable older people in Stirling and Clackmannanshire to live full and positive lives in their own homes or when this is not possible, within homely settings within supportive Communities To achieve this:

 Ensuring older adults are at the heart of decisions  Value community assets  Supporting independence  Collaboration across the partnership  Communication The challenge?

 Working in a whole systems approach  Agreeing key outcomes and a shared direction  Understanding of roles  What will this look like and feel like in reality? The role of services in achieving this

A whole systems approach? Inputs Older adult/ Service Needs/ Problem Analysis Decide Goals and Priorities Identify, Assess & Select Means & Options ImplementOutputs Outcomes Evaluate At all stages incrementalism and value judgements Systems Model (Modification of Thomas, 1988)

 Changing demographics  Working together we can achieve more and have greater success  We want to ensure services are fit for purpose  To make sure that services are ‘Right’ Why do this?

 Community support can reduce institutional care  Inadequate care will put people at risk of ill health, isolation and stigma  There is increasing evidence that chronic illness is strongly related to networks and communities. Well- being is particularly dependent upon relationships (Foot & Hopkins, 2010) Foot, J., & Hopkins, T., (2010).
