Caring for carers during National Carers Week
National Carers Week is being celebrated from 11 - 17 October, recognising the valuable work that carers throughout the country perform day in, day out. The week has been held annually since 1992.
Our volunteers got creative with our friends in aged care homes during lockdown
Nothing is greater than the hearts motivation to touch the lives of those who are less fortunate than ourselves. CatholicCare’s Community Visitors Scheme (CVS) volunteers know this.
Memory Innovations Centre – Keeping seniors connected during COVID-19
Our Memory Innovations Centre has adapted very quickly to keep seniors in the community connected and supported in the current climate. We are committed to keeping our clients and staff safe whilst ensuring seniors have access to our programs during these unprecedented times.
Volunteers are vital in our Aged Care facilities
In Australia, roughly 229,000 elderly Australians entered aged care facilities between 2017 and 2018, and there are over 2,000 aged care facilities all over the country. While they have their own dedicated staff, volunteers are often vital for the success of these facilities and the health of the residents.
