Recent events

ElderCare Week 2010: Everybody needs to know about ElderCare options
ElderCare Week 2010 took place during the week of 6-12 September 2010). During the week we called for advice and information to be made more accessible for older people, their families and carers. As part of this, we promoted Counsel and Care's range of fully updated guides and factsheets.

As part of ElderCare Week, Counsel and Care launched the results of a survey of over 1,300 UK adults, which revealed that there is a severe lack of public understanding of and information available on the care system for older people. We found that just 5% believe the social care system is easy to navigate and 79% think that not enough is done to tell people about the care options avaliable.

Counsel and Care is grateful to the Wriglesworth Consultancy for PR support to ElderCare Week this year.
