Ageing well in Gwynedd Survey

Cyngor Gwynedd wants to hear about the experiences, views and wishes of those residing in the county about where and how they want to live as they get older.

The Council is making plans for the accommodation needs of older people in the long term, and with this in mind is keen to find out what sort of homes local people currently live in and what their needs will be as they age.

The Council also wants to know what support, services and resources people need to live comfortably into the future.

The demography of Gwynedd – like other rural counties – is changing, with a higher proportion of people over the age of 55. In addition, thanks to medical improvements and other social changes, people are generally living to be older.

Because of this, authorities such as Cyngor Gwynedd must adapt so that the needs of the population are met. This includes ensuring adequate provision of suitable accommodation, for example extra care homes, sheltered homes and adapted properties.
