Social Prescribing

Are you worried about someone close to you who is over 65 and showing signs of loneliness, anxiety, withdrawing from social interaction? Is their friendship circle shrinking? Are they experiencing a loss of appetite perhaps due to being alone, especially at meal times?

Are you thinking about talking to their GP about these concerns or considering medication? Have you considered a social prescription option such as a community service or social support program? Care & Share at Trinity can help.

 

A social activity program for people aged 65 and over, Care & Share at Trinity provides a service for eligible seniors who live independently in the South East metro area.

  • We are a warm and welcoming community environment, a safe and friendly place for participants to have fun, meet, socialise, laugh and make new friends
  • Participants receive a two-course meal, morning tea and an afternoon cuppa. We also cater for specific dietary needs.
  • A variety of activities and exercises are provided that increase the level of activity in each participant’s day. Puzzles and games provide mental stimulation and promote improvement in cognitive ability.
  • Our programme manager, Janine Callegari, is case manager for all our participants and will assist participants and their families with My Aged Care registration and provide information about CHSP and HCP supports
  • Welcomed respite for carers, our assistants undertake regular training and have nationally recognised aged care qualifications of Certificate 3 or above.
  • Operating since 1987, we gather on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 9.30am – 2.00pm
  • Our motto is EAT, TALK, BELONG: our participants thrive when they gather to enjoy a meal, great conversation and develop a sense of belonging.

I just want to say how grateful I am for your wonderful program and improving my mother’s life to such a significant extent. I have never known her to be so happy, she has met a lovely group of staff and people who seem to like her for who she is and it has made a tremendous difference to her.
