Older People
Our services for older people are funded by Woollahra Council and the HACC program specifically for people living in the Woollahra local government area and surrounding suburbs. Anyone from another area should contact their local Council to find out about similar services in their neighbourhood. Holdsworth offers centre-based programs for older people including discussion groups, movie matinees, and day programs for people living with memory loss. There are also Discovery Tours that take groups out to some intriguing and fascinating places around Sydney. Shopping buses to either Edgecliff or Bondi Junction, with assistance to carry shopping into your home, are very popular. For those who are less active, or recovering from illness, we are able to arrange individual shopping services.

We are able to use our extensive Community Transport Program to assist all our service users overcome mobility and isolation issues. The Community Links program provides home visiting for frail elderly people. We link volunteers with people who require extra assistance and a friendly visitor who can provide companionship for house bound community members or accompany more active people on local walks or trips to local shopping centres. This program encapsulates the Centre’s aim of bringing the community closer together by creating positive links and relationships between community members. As with all of the Centre’s programs, we offer referral services for support and assistance that may be offered elsewhere or by one of our partner organisations.

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. These can
be essential services to aid daily living or social supports to help
get the most out of life.
