New activities keep local seniors active and social

Noosa Community Support has started the year with a range of new activities for the local seniors.

The Centre, located at 11 Wallace Drive Noosaville, offers a wide range of wellness and social activities that are fun, healthy and entertaining.

Centre Coordinator Linda Wylie said that last year was a tough one for their clients.

“Due to COVID, our clients couldn’t resume their normal Centre based socialisation.

“This year we are all excited to get back together and offer some engaging activities that will suit any local senior, still taking into consideration Covid -19 precautions.”

Morning or afternoon tea is included when participating in art therapy, gardening, the handyman’s tool shed, music and movement sessions as well as social outings and local trips. All materials are provided for the art and gardening sessions and are run by local experts in their field along with the supportive Centre staff to make it a very enjoyable outing.

The Centre’s Community Care Officer Jan Gorman said Noosa Community Support is thrilled to be able to offer these fun and social activities again.

“The staff and volunteers are ready and eager to offer support to our valued senior community. And of course it will be great to see the centre busy again with friendly smiling faces,” she said.

Noosa Community Support can also provide advice and assistance to local seniors over the age of 65 with navigating My Aged Care and work closely with Carers Gateway.

Other services available are home maintenance, in-home care, shopping, transport and centre based respite for your loved ones

.
