Not Active Community Linkline
Linkline Program
The aim of the service is to enhance general health and wellbeing and independence of frail and isolated older people by allowing up to eight people to talk and participate in organised activities together on the telephone. Our Coordinator runs a telephone session lasting approximately one hour for each group per week. In addition to general chit chat participants can engage in a number of activities, all without leaving your home.
Our activities reflect the needs, interests and backgrounds of the individuals who attend each program or group.
The program involves a variety of activities, including:
• Games
• Quizzes
• Guest speakers
• Outings/ day trips i.e. Movies, Restaurants, Picnics, Museums, etc.
