Ageing Well

Our vision is that all adults are able to live life to the full by optimising opportunities for health and participation in social, economic, cultural and civil affairs.

The people of the Bailiwick of Guernsey are living much longer. The time spent up to, and after retirement, can now be as long as the time spent in paid or unpaid work. Because of this it is important that we plan for the future by working together to provide opportunities and services that meet the needs of an ageing population and people with supported living needs.

The Ageing Well section of the website provides information on the services provided by the States.

Use the menus on the right and left of this page for  more information about your health issues and the services that the States deliver.
