Social Clubs supporting the frail aged and those living with dementia
Our Northern Beaches Social Clubs provides an inclusive environment where older people, including people living with dementia can take a break from their home environment, connect with their community and spend a day socialising.
The Social Club also allows family members and friends to take a break and enjoy some time out from their caring roles.

It’s a wonderful community of people with similar interests. There’s not a single negative - it is all absolute pleasure. It has a LOT of positives - food, company, setting, activities and plenty more. All the staff cooperate well with each other and are helpful. They merge and blend with the guests in a magical and rare precious way. I’ve been a member of a lot of communities but never a part of one where every person is so lovely.

To start with I didn’t want to come. My daughters felt it would be nice for me to come. And it has been really nice. I thought I was doing alright at home but I found that I made some new friends. The people that work here can’t do enough for you. It’s been a blessing that I look forward to each time.

It’s a place for fellowship and friendship. The lunches are always so delicately prepared. The outings in the sun are always most enjoyable. The staff are always there to assist you. It is all very much appreciated. Something that I look forward to every week.

What can you expect from our Social Club?
For those attending the club, there are plenty of activities to enjoy, in a safe and supportive environment. Our activities are tailored to suit each individual. These include, but are not limited to games, outdoor activities, reading, painting, reminiscing or just relaxing. Nutritious meals are served throughout the day.
How can I access the service?
The service is available to people living with dementia in the Mona Vale, Cromer, and Manly areas. Accessed through Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) or Home Care Package funding. If you are a primary carer enquiring around costs, eligibility and availability, you can directly contact the Social Club Manager.
How do I start Respite Care?
Government-funded Respite Care is available for carers who support an older person and/or a person living with dementia. But the type of support given depends on the level of care needed.
To apply, you’ll complete an eligibility check and a free assessment. Then, if approved, you’ll be allocated respite through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme or in your Home Care Package.
For more information, call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 or

Support for you and your carer
With an understanding of your needs – and those of your regular carer – we’ll find the right approach, even when unforeseen circumstances arise. And as leaders in complex dementia care, our specialist team can provide extra support for people living with dementia.
Carers' Support
Caring for older people, including those living with dementia, is rewarding but can be challenging. If you’re a carer and need emotional support, please call our pastoral care team on 1800 826 166. Or for other support, call the Government's Carer Gateway between 8am and 5pm on 1800 422 737.
