Day respite and Allied Health centre opens

The newly refurbished Trinder Park Home Care Centre now offers day respite services through Commonwealth Home Support and through Home Care packages. You can come and check out the new offerings on Wednesday December 6, between 10am and 2pm.

Home Care Manager Deb Johnson said the new space, which is located on the Trinder Park Aged Care & Retirement Living campus at Woodridge, was a positive and homely environment.

“We have created a Zen garden where clients can sit and enjoy a relaxing waterfall and pond with fish, and enjoy the peace and serenity of the area,” she said.

“Other new features include a gardening space for those clients who have a green thumb.

“Best of all we now have a ‘one stop shop’ for all allied health requirements, including occupational therapy and physiotherapy podiatry and social work”

New programs such as exercise sessions focusing on strength and balance were growing in popularity, Deb said.

Next year there are plans to expand services to outings including lunches and craft/art therapy groups.

The services are open to people aged over 65 who are eligible for the Commonwealth Home Support Program or Home Care Packages.
