Engaging older people

Cheshire East Council have contacted us to ask us to publicise an event which is taking place in Crewe on Friday 26th February.

The details are as follows:

Members of the public are being urged to give their views on health care during an Information and Engagement Event for Older People between 1.00pm and 5.00pm on Friday, February 26th.

The event will be held at Beechmere Extra Care Housing, Rolls Avenue, Crewe, CW1 3QD.

There will be workshops, demonstrations and information stands – all designed to encourage people to get involved and help plan health and social care services in to the future.

Come along and try your hand at table tennis, dance classes and physical exercise, or just join in the discussion.

Afternoon tea will be provided so anyone interested in attending should call Pauline Hughes on 01606 544 399 or by emailing Pauline.hughes@cecpct.nhs.uk">Pauline.hughes@cecpct.nhs.uk

Councillor Roland Domleo, Cabinet member for adult services, who will be holding a special question and answer session, said: "Cheshire East Council and Central and Eastern Cheshire Primary Care Trust would like to hear your views so that we can plan health and social care services for older people in 2010-2011 and onwards.

"Senior staff from the local authority and the primary care trust will be on hand to help and there will also be plenty of opportunity for you to have your say about how you would like local health and social care services to be delivered.

"The day is designed to help us meet your needs and make sure that we're doing all we can to give our residents in Cheshire East the best care in their older age."
