Living Longer – Cranleigh Chamber of Commerce presentation from Informed Choice

Martin talks about a remarkable French lady and the deal she did with a property lawyer, the state of longevity in the UK today, what is on the cards for the State Pension, how reform of funding adult social care was watered down, and why many older people feel they are second-class citizens.

He finishes with five ideas to address the challenges of an ageing population and helping people live well in later life.

1 – Become a Dementia Friend

2 – Become more accessible to older customers

3 – Invest in your old age today

4 – Talk to your kids about the future

5 – Re-rethink retirement
