People with learning disabilities are living longer, and while until relatively recently many people with learning disabilities aged while living with their families or in residential homes, it is now increasingly common for people to be living more independent lives. They are therefore often ageing in supported living, either in shared houses or flats, or in their own flats, with a wide variety in levels of support. The recent nature of these changes means that we have limited knowledge about how best to adapt support for people as they age to ensure they can enjoy opportunities and feel safe and well in later life. This book, and the training pack that can be used alongside it, aim to contribute to the development of this knowledge; to raise the expectations of older people with learning disabilities and their families and friends; and to raise the aspirations of individuals and services providing support. This study guide offers a wide range of good practice ideas for accessing opportunities so people can enjoy active and fulfilling lives while also being supported to be safe and well. It covers six topics: understanding growing older; emotional well-being; health; being active and involved; home life and bereavement and dying. The information will be useful for anyone providing support to people with learning disabilities as they get older, and also to those managing support services, commissioning support, and shaping and reviewing care and support plans. It will be a useful for personal assistants, support workers and senior workers in supported living, residential and respite care and day opportunity services. This study guide may also help family carers think about what support they would like their relative to receive, whether they live in the family home or elsewhere, and help them understand what good support should look like so they can check the quality of the support their relative is receiving. This book could also be used by community and voluntary organisations looking to be more inclusive of older people with learning disabilities, and by support services for older people who want to improve their offer to older people with learning disabilities.
