Elder Care Groups
WELCOME
Do not cast me off in the time of old age; do not forsake me when my youth is spent (Psalm 71.9)
The Elder Care Groups aim to address social isolation among older people and have a strong emphasis on all aspects of health and well-being including spiritual. They offer programmes (usually half day) of exercise, social and other activities focussed on well-being and friendship. The staff and volunteers are trained in the particular needs of older people. Their work is supported by health professionals who are available to the Groups as required. Elder Care Groups operate as a partnership between the diocese of Christchurch (through the City MIssion) and parishes, and have ongoing support from the Selwyn Foundation.
