Planned Activities

Home and Community Care Services

BDH Home and Community Care Services provide a range of activities for older members of our services and community. They engage people in meaningful group social activities which draw on personal strengths, build capacity, encourage independence and involve them in their community. The positive, supported environment provides social and respite opportunities for participants and their carers to prolong independent community living.

These include:

Community Transport

BDH Home and Community Care Services provides a local transport service for shopping/paying bills. This service operates using the hospital car each Friday morning. The car is driven by a volunteer driver. The client specifies pick up times and is transported down the street and home by the volunteer driver.

A second local transport option is available for people who have no other means to get to the medical clinic for appointments. The transport can be arranged prior to the day and a volunteer driver to pick up the client and transport to clinic. Following the appointment the driver will be contacted to pick up client and transport home.

For Medical Appointments, Boort District Health provides a transport service, including car and driver, for specialist medical appointments in Kerang and Bendigo.
