 Older People
 Firmly based on the belief that age should be no impediment to enjoying life and community participation we offer a range of services to older people from the active to the physically dependent to those living with dementia. These can be essential services to aid daily living or social supports to help get the most out of life.
NEWS!
A new service for people with Younger Onset Dementia
Holdsworth is now being funded by HACC to provide this new service. It is for people living in the 5 LGAs of City of Sydney, Waverley, Woollahra, Randwick and Botany.
The service is for anybody under 65 who has been diagnosed with dementia. There is no restriction based on the level of dementia or if they have an additional physical disability.
It is a service where a trained staff member works alongside the person, encouraging, supporting and pursuing activities that brings pleasure and satisfaction.
The rich range of activities can be anything that is significant to the person, from warm companionship to fulfilling lifetime ambitions, and anything in between. See brochure.
If you would like further information about this service, or wish to make a referral, contact us on 9302 3600 or e-mail intake@holdsworth.org.au

Holdsworth welcomes diversity and does not discriminate against anyone on any grounds. For many of our services we ask for a contribution towards our costs; however, services will never be refused because of an inability to pay
