Social Clubs for the Elderly
Our social clubs seek to support the carers of people who are frail aged or those who are living with dementia.
What is a social club?
HammondCare's social clubs provide a social environment where older people can take a break from their home environment, connect with their community and spend a day socialising.
While helping older people or people living with dementia through inclusion and interaction, the social club allows you, as a carer, to take a break and enjoy some time to look after yourself, while our trained and experienced social club team cares for the person you usually look after.
For those attending the club, there are plenty of activities to enjoy, including outings and social events, in a caring and friendly environment. Of course, club members may also choose to just relax and do very little.

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.
