Older People

At Aged Care and Community Services, we provide a variety of services to support elderly and/or disabled people and their carers in Maningrida through:

• Residential facility
• Home Care Packages (HCP)
• Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP)
• National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Support Services

We deliver a range of aged care services that are consistent with the National Aged Care Quality Standards. We have a vision for aged care in Minyerri to keep our community strong through our elders remaining in community and having the opportunity to pass on culture to our future generations.

Senior Citizens’ Association provides a range of activities for seniors in Alice Springs including bingo, card games, woodworking, snooker, bus trips and a monthly lunch.

Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme is a national program that connects volunteers with older people at risk of social or cultural isolation. It is offered by Anglicare NT in Darwin, Palmerston, Katherine, Alice Springs, Nhulunbuy and Tennant Creek.

Volunteers visit someone at least once a fortnight, providing friendship and links to the local community.

Visits are available to anyone who:

• receives a government-funded residential aged care or home care package, and
• who feels socially isolated and/or lonely.

Referrals can be made by aged care facilities, community care service providers, medical practitioners, or from family and friends.

If you’re interested in the service or in becoming a volunteer visitor, contact us on 08 8985 0000.

Care Finder supports older people over 65 years of age, or over 45 years if Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, who:

• have no carer or support person who can help them, or
• do not have a carer or support person they feel comfortable or trust to support them, and
• are eligible for government-funded aged care

Care Finder helps older people to learn about, apply for and set up support services. Anglicare NT provides this free service in Darwin, Palmerston and the rural area, Katherine and Alice Springs.

If you require more information or are unsure if a referral is appropriate for our service, please contact the Care Finder team on (08) 8985 0000.
