Services for older people in Penarth

At MHA Communities Penarth, we want to enable older people to stay living independently in their own homes for as long as possible, with the best possible quality of life.

Through befriending, lunch clubs, assisted shopping, activity and friendship sessions, outings, escorts to appointments and much more, MHA Communities schemes across the UK help to tackle loneliness and isolation in people over 55 – helping them to lead fulfilled lives and remain as active members in their local communities.

As one member said, "When I moved to Penarth I wondered how I would make friends.  Since joining Penarth live at Home Scheme as a volunteer I have felt welcomed and most of all useful!   I’ve made a lot of friends and love coming to the activities on a weekly basis.  It’s been a loneliness lifesaver for me and I am very grateful."

Penarth Live at Home have been funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund to increase the wellbeing of older people by creating opportunities for sharing their life experience and showcase their heritage in Penarth. The following video shows scheme members reminiscing with local school children about life during World War Two.

The scheme's activities programme is designed and led by its members and volunteers to ensure that we are providing the practical and social support which those we serve need.

Information for businesses and corporates

MHA is able to subsidise many of its charitable services thanks to the generous contributions of businesses who want to make a difference in their local communities. How to get involved

Information for families and friends

If you’re looking at MHA Communities to help someone you know, we understand. With a busy work life, family and other responsibilities, sometimes it just isn’t possible to travel regularly and give a loved one the dedicated care and support you wish you could provide. Refer a family member or friend

Information for healthcare professionals

If an older person in hospital has no family, friends or neighbours, we can assist them to return home. We work with GP practices, hospital discharge and re-enablement teams and Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) to support older people adjust and settle back at home after a period in hospital. Refer a patient

Information for local authorities

Through our preventative, person-centred services, we can reduce the strain on local health services – delaying, minimising or even preventing people’s need for them. More information
