Dementia day care program expands
The dementia day care program run at Peninsula Village, which was once only for residents of the Village, has now expanded to include the wider community.
Peninsula Village executive assistant Ms Linda Grant said the program had been so successful that expanding it was the obvious thing to do.
"It truly is marvellous as it really helps carers, but it is working out how to let these carers in homes know the program is available to them," said Ms Grant.
"It is a wonderful service to give carers a break when they are looking after an aged family member with special needs in their home.
"At $7 per day, the service offers personalised attention from qualified carers along with social stimulation, with plenty of activities within the Day Therapy Schedule," said Ms Grant.
The day care runs Monday to Friday from 9am until 3pm.
