Beenleigh And District Senior Citizens Centre
CENTRE BASED DAY CARE is available to give short term relief to individuals and their carers. When a person lives alone, this short term relief provides “relief” or “respite” from loneliness and to provide you with an experience outside of your home.
When the person lives with someone, either husband, wife or family who provide your care, then this “relief” or “respite” is provided for the carer, to give them a break.
Clients are picked up from their home if they have no other means of transport. We have two modern buses fitted with the latest safety equipment and wheelchair hoists.
A day at respite can consist with activities or games, crafts, outings, special days with entertainment & concerts. Each day morning tea and lunch are provided also.

“Social Shoppers” is a fortnightly social activity group for people who are over 55, high functioning, low physical support needs and independent in regards to personal care support requirements. “Social Shoppers” encourages inclusiveness and is a great way to increase social activity. The group, will get together, between the hours of 9.30am to 3.30pm supported by Gateway’s door to door Community Transport fortnightly on a Thursday. The shopping locations vary every fortnight to give shoppers variety and possibly discover new shopping locations. Shoppers have the option to wander, shop and purchase whilst supported by qualified staff and trained volunteers or in the company of our other members. The group then meet up again to enjoy a bite to eat, and a chat before returning home. This program provides members with an opportunity to be both physically and socially active and improves access to the local community.
