UK alcohol rehabs let down older people

29th November 2017 by philcain

Three out of four residential alcohol treatment facilities exclude older adults by imposing an age limit, while lack of disabled access often creates physical barriers.

Some older adults found living with younger residents was enriching, while others found the “generation gap” more of a challenge, according to the study by Alcohol Research UK.

Some felt bullied, intimidated or upset by ageist language and attitudes. At the same time “age blindness” sometimes means needs are not met.
