LTC - Frailty

Our Occupational Therapist can visit you in your own home to assess how well you are living and can put in place care, equipment and support to enable you to carry living at home.

Our Frailty Services generally supports people over the age of 65, to live well at home.

Frailty is generally characterised by issues like reduced muscle strength and fatigue. Around 10% of people aged over 65 live with frailty. This figure rises to between 25% and a 50% for those aged over 85.

Frailty isn’t the same as living with multiple long-term health conditions. There’s often overlap, but equally someone living with frailty may have no other diagnosed health conditions.
