Person Centred Software has announced that it is partnering with CommonAge, The Commonwealth Association for the Ageing. Person Centred Software delivers integrated care home solutions and CommonAge is a charity dedicated to ensuring older people are fully recognised and supported to live well in an all-age-friendly Commonwealth.

Through the partnership, Person Centred Software will actively contribute to CommonAge's initiatives to encourage a society that values and respects older individuals, ensuring they are supported and cared for.

With an emphasis on healthy ageing and inclusion, CommonAge promotes, and advocates for, the needs and rights of older people through its activities and networks. By partnering with CommonAge, Person Centred Software reinforces its own commitment to supporting the wellbeing and quality of life of older individuals.

Tammy Sherwood, Chief Customer Officer at Person Centred Software, said, ‘We are proud to support CommonAge in driving positive change in how we support older people. Their advocacy work makes a real difference in the lives of older individuals across the Commonwealth.’

Mansur Dalal, Chair of CommonAge, said, ‘With over 10 years of impact, we are absolutely thrilled to have Person Centred Software as a dedicated and innovative partner in our journey.’

He added, ‘While an ageing population is a global issue, our research has found that, in the majority of Commonwealth countries, the absolute size of the older population will increase by at least 100% over the next 25 years, in mostly low- and middle-income countries. Now more than ever before, it is vital we come together, sharing knowledge and experience, to find workable solutions to ensure older people in all Commonwealth countries, and indeed the world, are recognised and supported to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.’
