Independence and sociability
The power of human connection is something that cannot be underestimated.
As you’ll see in this chapter, it’s important to recognise the significance of social connections with friends and family in later life. We explore ways you and your loved one can maintain and grow those relationships.
Key to keeping our independence is our ability to stay mobile. This can take many forms and there are plenty of ways to keep moving with simple strategies.
In this chapter, we’ll also discuss the power of friendship and explore options for a vibrant, engaged ‘post-car’ life. For those who have a loved one who is struggling to stay social, the tips in this chapter will help them get out and about.
