Free Aged Care session for seniors
SOMERSET Council will host a free information session for senior residents and carers on Wednesday, August 20, at the Somerset Civic Centre in Esk.
The Support at Home for People 65 Years and Over information session will be led by Council’s Community Development Coordinator (CDC).
Somerset Social Plan Advisory Committee Chair, Councillor Michael Bishop, said the information session would help seniors understand changes occurring in aged care.
“There are many seniors seeking clarifications about the changes to aged care services which will come into effect in November,” Cr Bishop said.
“Our CDC will discuss the current system and the proposed changes.”
The session will be held in the Lyceum Room in the Somerset Civic Centre from 10am to 11.30am and includes a free morning tea – bookings are not essential.
Cr Bishop encouraged residents who need support accessing services, building social connections, or addressing community issues to contact Council’s CDC.
To speak with the CDC, contact Council on 5424 4000 or mail@somerset.qld.gov.au
