Cognitive Stimulation: We offer engaging activities that stimulate mental function, including puzzles, Scrabble, Bridge, card games, and reading.
Cooking: Our skilled support workers can prepare meals or assist clients in meal preparation. This may involve shopping for ingredients and creating meal plans, taking into account dietary and nutritional needs.
Light Housekeeping: We take care of light housekeeping duties such as dusting, vacuuming, and dishwasher management. However, heavy cleaning tasks like washing windows are not included.

Socialization: We encourage social interaction by assisting clients in getting out of the house to socialize. This may include visits to friends, going for coffee, attending theater performances, visiting the RSL (Returned and Services League), library, art gallery, and engaging in similar activities.

We can utilize either our carer’s vehicle or the client’s vehicle as needed.
