Let’s Live Well in Rushcliffe: Rethinking Dementia & Aging Together

Posted by: emmastrzelec - Posted on:

In Rushcliffe, we’re hoping to become a borough that shows how people can truly thrive with age — not just grow older. With the right support, social connection, and a focus on prevention, we believe later life can be vibrant, independent, and fulfilling.

❓Did you know that up to 40% of dementia cases are considered preventable through changes in lifestyle? Staying physically active, socially connected, mentally stimulated, and managing long-term conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes can all make a difference.

That’s where Population Health Management and our Social Prescribing Community Hub come in.

📍The Hub is where prevention meets connection — offering free drop-ins, creative workshops, movement sessions, and wellbeing support to help people live well and feel supported in the community.

💬 It’s also where we link residents to vital services and information — and during Dementia Action Week 2025 (May 19–25), we’re encouraging everyone to get involved.
