Alex Miller has a bounce in his step and a twinkle in his eye. For a good reason! He’s packed away his walking stick and pain killers and is feeling better than he has in years!

The joy of Easter was celebrated across Uniting AgeWell’s residential and home care services.

Ageing impacts the body in so many ways, with mental health and well-being often directly impacted. So, how can older Australians and carers stay on top of their mental health?

The Uniting AgeWell Community Hubs in Berwick and Burwood East have been a hive of activity hosting community open days.

Many people are not fully prepared for caring for an ageing loved one. Host, Jacinta Parsons explores this dynamic and how the well-being of both parties can be addressed.

Getting older does not mean your life has to stop, or that your impact needs to be less. Jacinta Parsons is joined by guests Merv Stanton and Loretta Simmons OAM.

Joan Tucker doesn’t need a calculator to work out her equation for happiness. “It’s your attitude to life,” she explains. “You can be old at 45, but young at 95. It’s up to you!”

Uniting AgeWell podcast, The Ageing Ideal, launches Wednesday 12 February.
