New Service for Older People
Saint Joseph’s Centre is pleased to announce a new Day Opportunities Programme for Older People. This innovative new programme will operate every Tuesday at our Centre in the Grosvenor Road, Belfast from 9.30 to 3.30 beginning Tuesday 6th February 2018
The programme will provide older people with an opportunity to meet others, socialise, learn new skills and maintain their independence. The group will provide an active programme of varied activities including: arts and crafts; local history; music, film and drama; alternative therapies; social games and activities and cookery. There will be a range of guest speakers and refreshments and a three course lunch will be provided.
Transport is available to and from home to anyone accessing the service.
Staff at the centre understand the needs of older people and are respectful, carrying and supportive. We offer a warm and welcoming, family based environment. We have a particular understanding of the needs of older people with a sight and hearing loss and staff are skilled to support these individuals in a positive, unobtrusive manner.
There is a cost associated with the group but support is available to help meet the costs. Places maybe taken on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
Places are limited so if you would like to know more or know a family member or an older person who you feel might benefit from this service, please contact Fr Devlin on 07910 833699 Thank You.
