Ageing Theories

Theories of Ageing - Health and Social Care

Why this topic is important:

Understanding ageing theories helps staff recognise how older adults experience changes in behaviour, motivation, engagement, and biological ageing.

These theories underpin person‑centred care, support CQC expectations, and help staff understand why individuals may withdraw, stay active, or adapt differently as they age. High‑quality training ensures teams can provide empathetic, evidence‑based, and respectful support.
