Social support-group (formerly known as Centre-Based Day Care) provides an opportunity for clients to attend and participate in social interactions which are conducted away from the client’s home and in, or from, a fixed base facility or centre based settings.
These structured activities are provided in a group-based environment and designed to develop, maintain and support social interaction and independent living.
Activities may take the form of:
• group-based activities held in or from a facility/centre (e.g. pre-set or individually tailored activities promoting physical activity, cognitive stimulation and emotional wellbeing)
• group excursions conducted by centre staff but held away from the centre.
Services may include light refreshments and associated transport and personal assistance (e.g. help with toileting) involved in attendance at the centre.
