To provide weekly social group gatherings with others.
To provide social visits by staff or volunteers to frail and isolated elderly or people with a disability who hardly go out due to their poor health, take them out for appointments and shopping and do bill payment.
We provide two types of social support services at AVWA
Social support – Groups (formerly known as Planned Activity Groups), which are operated weekly, provide opportunities for clients to attend and participate in social interactions, which are conducted at a centre, online, or through group outings. These activities focus on participants’ needs and aspirations in order to enable them to improve their health and well-being. The needs may be physical, emotional, intellectual, recreational, cultural, linguistic, and spiritual.
Social support – Individual is assistance provided by a companion (paid worker or volunteer) to frail and isolated elderly clients, either within the home environment or while accessing community services, which is primarily directed towards meeting the person’s need for social contact and/or company in order to participate in community life.
