This is always where I start my search for diverse & non-stereotyped images of older people, to use in teaching materials or research presentations. There's 3000 images in the whole collection, all with wide permission to reuse (CC0 1.0 for the creative commons geeks) so it wins for ease of use too.

โ€œAccessing CHC has become more difficult unless someone is near the end of lifeโ€. This @age_uk report confirms other findings about alarming trends in โ€˜standardโ€™ NHS continuing healthcare, which is intended to provide free #socialcare for people with complex health conditions 1/6
