Charity tackles issue of ageing without care from relatives

8 hours ago

By 2030 there are likely to be two million people in the UK over the age of 65 who don't have children.

A BBC opinion poll suggests that half of them will not have family members they can live with in their old age. It found that 53% of people didn't expect to live with relatives.

John Maguire visited a charity in Leeds set up to tackle of the issue and asks who will shoulder the responsibility for their care?

I will be one of these people, I thought when I can no longer look after myself, I will have to go into a home ?

Unfortunately I am now in that position as well, I just hope I can keep my health good for as long as possible.
