Age Friendly Torfaen - Housing and health care

This survey covers issues and questions around growing older in your home, your well-being and your health. Many questions have the option of 'prefer not to say' if you would rather not answer certain questions. All responses will be anonymised.

Survey closes 1/7/24

Housing

The housing conditions of older people are often linked to their quality of life and whether they are able to age independently and actively in their community. Appropriate housing design and its proximity to community and social services allow older residents to live comfortably and safely, while housing affordability gives them peace of mind.

About you

It would be extremely helpful if you could finish by answering the following questions about yourself. This will help us understand whether we have reached particular groups of people and where we need to focus additional effort when we consult in future. This information will be stored securely according to Torfaen Council’s Privacy Policy (available on request). This data will be anonymised and will only be included in the published report to make statements such as:

X % of respondents were aged…

Y % of respondents identified as male gender

Z % of respondents have a disability, etc.

You will not be named and your personal data will not be available to anyone other than a small team of Council staff for the purpose of analysis and keeping you informed about the project, if you signal that you wish for this to happen.

A note about Sex and Gender:

Sex and gender are terms that are often used interchangeably but they are in fact two different concepts, even though for many people their sex and gender are the same.
