Supports for older adults with Down syndrome
To plan for the future, family members and support networks need to know how to support the ageing process for people with Down syndrome. This includes thinking about changes in support that may be needed as a person ages.
This includes living arrangements, the support of siblings, and ways to stay involved in the community.
