Open day brings respite

BLUE Care Allora-Clifton Community Care will host an open day on Friday 28 March aimed at educating the public about respite services.
Blue Care Allora/Clifton Service Manager Sue Hoopmann said it was a great opportunity for the community to see the centre and learn about the services offered.
“In our centre-based program, people have the opportunity to meet others, share a meal and a chat, learn new skills and enjoy activities such as outings and listening to new music,” she said.
“We hope that people over the age of 65 who live alone will come along. People who care for a loved one are also invited, along with those they care for.”
Staff will speak about respite services and morning tea will be supplied.
Blue Care Allora-Clifton Community Care is located on the corner of Warwick and Forde streets, Allora.
The event runs from 9.30am to 11am and people can register by Wednesday 25 March by phoning (07) 4666 3985.
