This guideline provides practice advice for the care and support for adults with learning disabilities as they grow older. It covers care and support in all settings and aims to support people to access the services they need as they get older. The recommendations cover support needs, assessing and managing health needs, planning for the future, and supporting access to services including health, social care, housing and end of life care. The recommendations advise health and social care workers to help organise regular health assessments for older people with learning disabilities and to giving people with learning disabilities clear and regular information to help people get the help they need and prevent late diagnosis of age-related conditions. It also advises local authorities to ensure there are opportunities for people growing older with learning disabilities to socialise and be active in their communities. (Edited publisher abstract)
