Ageing well and planning for the future

Find out what people with Down syndrome do to keep well and live a good life as they get older.

Kylie Scott

“One good thing in my life has to be spending time with the people I love and having a job and making lifelong friends.”

“Exercise, swim in the pool and ocean. Drink plenty of water. Eat, cook and choose healthy meals. If unwell, go to the doctors and get your shots, flu and Covid.”

“It excites me to have a lease on life, and gives me a purpose about myself, and spend time with my loved ones.”
