The Healthy Ageing Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) seeks to understand what older adults in Warwickshire need to live longer, happier, and healthier lives, as well as what strengths individuals and communities already have that support this aim.

Healthy ageing is about recognising that ageing does not take a single, fixed trajectory; there are things that we can all do as individuals, communities, organisations, and society to influence this trajectory to take a 'healthier' course.

This JSNA has used local and national data and insights, as well as engagement with residents in the form of 'story circles' (small group sessions) and a survey.
