Social Support & Community Engagement

Seniors Week is run in most Australian states at various times of the year to emphasize the value that seniors add to the community, and for seniors to be aware of the services and activities provided for them.

Right at Home Australia promoted 'Pet Therapy' for seniors in our Blog on 24th June 2015 and promoted the use of a national organisation called Delta Therapy Dogs whose teams brighten the lives of over 20,000 Australians each week.

Virtual Retirement Villages offer a great new business model for Australian not-for-profit companies and charities who may have run out of ideas and face the prospect of collapse following government aged care funding reform.

While physical activity is needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle, social activities also play an important part. 

Connecting well with friends and family can help you stay healthier, age well and live longer.
