Carer Support

Day Programs

Our ECH Day Programs provide connections, activities and wellness in a safe club environment

Day Programs.

As a carer, your needs are often set aside to prioritise your loved one’s.

With household tasks and personal admin piling up, sometimes all you need is a bit of extra time to get on top of everything.

Our ECH Day Programs exist with this in mind, providing a safe and supportive environment for your loved one, whilst you get a moment of respite and some well-earned personal time.

At ECH, we’re here to support you. We believe that more support for carers, means better wellbeing for everyone involved.

  • College Grove, Walkerville

Programs are available Monday to Friday, from 9:30am to 3:30pm (excluding public holidays).

Our Day Programs include:

Day Programs allow your loved one to socialise in a friendly environment, with regular visits from community members and local school children.

We also provide spaces for quiet alone time if needed during the day.

All our Day Programs include a nutritious lunch as well as morning and afternoon tea, and snacks.

If you need transport to and from the centre, an ECH bus or other modes of transport can be arranged at an additional cost.

Dementia Day Respite.

We offer Dementia Day Respite, a Day Program especially for people with Dementia or memory loss.

Our Dementia trained, Social Program Leads provide a compassionate and safe environment for your loved one, whilst offering much-needed break for yourself.

Funding Options.

No matter your loved one’s age, Day Programs are available on a self-funded basis.

If they are 65 or over, they may qualify for a Home Care Package (HCP) or the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) and you may be able to use some of this funding to access a Day Program.
