Adult Day Activity Program
The Adult Day Activity Program operates 7 days a week and provides activities to suit the abilities of people with mild, moderate or severe dementia. Familiar household tasks, meal preparation, gardening, walking, music and other recreational activities form the basis of the programs. The activities include:
- In House Program
- Going Out Groups
- The Italian Day
- Just Blokes’ Group
- Sunday Outings (carers welcome)
The programs are conducted Mondays to Saturdays from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm and Sundays from 11:30 am to 4:30 pm and the ‘Going Out’ groups meet Wednesday’s and Friday’s. A small fee covers a hot midday meal, morning and afternoon tea and restricted local bus transport.
Incontinence, wandering and other behavioural changes do not exclude people from the programs, however, mobility is desirable. Occasional supervised care before and after all weekday programs is available on request.
Anyone in the community may refer prospective clients who live in the Municipality of Boroondara or surrounds and are cared for at home. If you have a friend or relative who would like to attend the Adult Day Activity Program you need to contact the Manager of Maranoa House on 03 8809 4979 for an assessment.
