DAY CARE (WITH LUNCH) The elders are with us for five hours per day. We provide transport to our centre, give them a nice hot lunch and engage then in simulative activities and other support services. Fun and enjoyment is the priority. MOBILE MEALS For those who are not able to prepare their meals, we provide a hot meal (yard style) once a day for 365 days per year. LUNCHEON CLUB This is a very popular service where the elders come in for a couple of hours for lunch and involve themselves in a range of activities. Where needed transport is provided. CARERS OUTREACH/SUPPORT This service is for the people who care for our elders, (the unsung heroes) who sometimes need support and relief from their relentless work. SITTING SERVICE We visit some of our elders and provide friendship, an opportunity to chat and give reassurance and support.
