Summary of report content

This is a report by Healthwatch Gloucestershire. The project looks at older people's health in the local area.

A county-wide survey was distributed to gather quantitative and qualitative data on older adults' ability to maintain their independence, access to services, and social interactions. A total of 367 people completed this survey.

To capture in-depth insights, we conducted targeted focus groups and interviews with older adults from underrepresented groups. Sometimes these groups also included carers. We heard from a total of 70 people.
