The adult day activity program operates 6 days a week and provides activities to suit the abilities of people with mild, moderate or severe dementia. This program focuses on socialisation whilst also providing invaluable respite for the carer.
Programs include:
The programs are conducted Mondays to Saturdays from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm. The ‘Going Out Club’ meets Wednesdays and Fridays. A small fee is charged to cover a hot midday meal, morning and afternoon tea and bus transport on outings.
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.
If you have a friend or relative who would like to attend the day activity program you need to contact the Manager of Maranoa House on (03) 8809 4979 to facilitate a My Aged Care assessment.
The task of caring for a person at home often falls to a close relative or a friend and can be complex and demanding – and often made more difficult through the lack of understanding and support.
Carers often find their life is no longer their own, their relationships are put on hold and their leisure time gradually disappears. The people who are most likely to know how to help and who understand how you are feeling are those who have had similar experiences.
The Maranoa Carers Group offers support in a number of ways.
