Healthy and Independent Ageing
Islington Council is reviewing how partners support older residents to promote healthy and independent ageing.
Islington Council's Health, Wellbeing and Adult Social Care Scrutiny Committee launched a review into healthy and independent ageing in September 2026. This review will assess how effectively partners support older residents, focusing on preventative and early intervention strategies. It will examine aspects such as social isolation, falls prevention, and frailty.
The committee approved the initiation document for this review in September 2026. As part of its work programme, the committee will also review the council's reablement service, following a request from Councillor Oliur Rahman. Healthy and independent ageing concerns supporting older adults to maintain their health and autonomy.
