Bring a Buddy in June! Free trial health & wellbeing sessions
5 June 2017
During the month of June, clients who attend Health & Wellbeing for Seniors sessions at the ANZAC Day Therapy Centre are invited to ‘bring a buddy’.
During the whole of June, newcomers can take advantage of free trial sessions.
This applies to:
- Friends of current clients
- Residents at our Vasey RSL Care ILU Villages
- Home care clients
- WWG members, and
- Others who are interested in coming along to see what is offered*
Sandra Butler is the Centre Coordinator and puts together a varied program for clients:
“A wellness and reablement approach is important in maintaining mental and physical health, which is essential for those wishing to continue living in their own homes. However, the thought of exercise can be intimidating to some,” Sandra says.
“The best exercise is the one you do without realising you are doing it!”
The Health & Wellbeing for Seniors Program offers a range of activities and therapies to help promote:
- Social interaction
- Strength
- Mobility
- Falls prevention
- Balance
- Emotional wellbeing
All of these are important to ensure that older Australians can continue to live safely and happily at home.
“We have qualified physiotherapists to ensure that each person receives individual support for their specific needs,” Sandra says.
“Some people need pain management therapy while others value the social aspects, such as chatting over lunch. There are many benefits from the program which all contribute to maintaining independence.”

Phone 9596 4258 (9am to 3pm Monday to Friday) to talk about what activities are on each day, to book a free trial session or ask questions.
“Our staff and clients are welcoming and friendly and we would love to have you come and join our program,” says Sandra.
* Please note that these sessions are not available to residential care clients as they have access to comprehensive residential lifestyle programs.
