The mecwacare Barry Fenton Centre in Malvern East offers Planned Activity Groups, strength training, podiatry, day trips, activities for people with acquired brain injuries and a dementia support program. Services are offered to people over 65 years of age or who have a disability and are living in the City of Stonnington.
Services provided at these locations include supporting individuals in an individual or group setting to maintain social networks, develop skills, specific falls prevention and strength training services. All exercise prescriptions and evaluations are completed by assessment officers and facilitated by trained staff.
Additionally, the centre also facilitates Planned Activity Groups (PAGs) which provide daily opportunities for older people to connect with their community. This includes people with dementia and people with disabilities who can participate in a variety of engaging and rewarding programs and activities, both at our day centres and in the community.
