Social Clubs for the Elderly

Yes, we currently have Social Clubs in Kyogle, North Lakes in Queensland, Scone, North Turramurra, Erina, Cromer, Miranda, Tweed Heads, Hammondville, Casino, Mona Vale and Berowra. Social Clubs offer outings and social activities that aim to brighten the day and connect clients with people in the local community. Clients can also choose to spend the day relaxing and just enjoying the company of others within the community. 

Clients benefit by engaging in enjoyable activities in a caring and friendly environment. Meeting new people and experiencing activities outside of the home can be refreshing and uplifting. Activities can include - but are not limited to - socialising with peers, meeting new people, going on bus outings, gardening, exercise sessions, board games, reading, crafts and helping in the kitchen. 

Social Clubs can help maintain a sense of purpose, provide enjoyment through chosen activities, provide an opportunity to be a part of a community environment and to meet new people.

We currently have Social Clubs in Kyogle, North Lakes, Scone, North Turramurra, Erina, Cromer, Miranda, Tweed Heads, Hammondville, Casino, Berowra and Mona Vale. If you do not find a HammondCare Social Club in your local area, please talk to our team and we can connect you with recommended Social Clubs. 

Clients enjoy a wide variety of meaningful activities from assisting in the kitchen, gardening, games, reading, painting, outdoor activities, reminiscing or just relaxing. Clients also enjoy socialising at morning tea and lunch with nutritious meals prepared every day. 

Social Clubs provide social engagement and a feeling of community, which is beneficial and provides enjoyment. Being with others can brighten the day and provide a relaxing break from the home environment. 

Attending a Social Club is a great way to meet new people. Interaction with others through activities and conversation builds new and interesting friendships. 

Clients arrive from 09:30am, and the day is tailored depending on the interests of the group. This can look like sharing morning tea and having a catch-up. Exercise sessions and social activities are on offer and meals are included. Home-cooked and nutritious meals are prepared fresh on the day and cooked on site, with the help of our clients if they wish to participate.

Social Clubs provide weekly visits for clients, respite for clients and carers, information regarding other services and how to access them, as well as pastoral care services.
