Did you know that the Burdekin Community Association Inc. (BCA) delivers the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) and recruits and supports volunteers to visit socially isolated older community members? Through the ACVVS, we support volunteers to provide friendship and companionship to older people in their home and also at Regis aged care.
Visits are available to anyone who:
• receives government-subsidised residential aged care or a Home Care Package, including care recipients approved or on the National Priority System for residential or a home care package.
• is socially isolated.
Why it is important?
Some older people can feel alone for various reasons. This Includes:
• feeling isolated from their culture and heritage
• little contact with friends or relatives
• mobility issues that prevent them from taking part in social or leisure activities
• being different in some way.
Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help older people feel less isolated.
For information about this FREE service or to find out how to become a Volunteer, please contact the BCA Team on Ph 4783 3744, The Support Centre, 130 Queen Street, Ayr, bca@bcaburdekin.org.au
