Staying healthy and happy as you get older

Ageing well means staying as healthy, happy and active as possible as we get older. Everyone's experience is different, but ageing well is about more than just physical health. It also means looking after our mental wellbeing, spending time with other people and enjoying life.

If you feel well, take part in activities you enjoy, stay connected with friends and family and feel positive about the future, you are more likely to age well. Staying active and finding ways to cope with changes in life can also help.

In South Tees, we want more people to stay safe, healthy and independent as they get older. We are working to support the health and wellbeing of older adults across our area.

We encourage everyone to look after their body and mind, keep in touch with others and make time for activities that bring them happiness. These things can help people enjoy later life and continue doing the things that matter most to them.
