Coronavirus Advice for the Elderly

We’ve set up a Facebook group for people caring for the elderly through Coronavirus – Visit Group

The prospect of many weeks, and possibly months of isolation during the coronavirus pandemic is causing enormous amounts of additional distress to the elderly. The team at Age Space is doing all we can to provide you with practical help and advice to support elderly relatives at risk.
