Providing Day Care Services

ADEC is a state-wide not-for-profit organisation that strives to empower people with a disability and the elderly from non-English speaking backgrounds, their carers and families to fully participate as members of the Victorian community.

We specialise in working with different cultures and religions and cater to the language needs of each individual. Most of our staff are bi-lingual, representing 20 countries and 25 different dialects.

ADEC facilitates a number of monthly Social Support Groups in the North:

• Arabic Carers
• Arabic Disability
• Arabic High Needs
• Chinese Carers
• Chinese High Needs
• Chinese Mental Health
• Greek Carers
• Italian Carers
• Japanese Carers
• Turkish Carers
• Turkish High Needs
• Turkish Mental Health
• Vietnamese Carers
• Vietnamese Mental Health

All groups are a mix of men and women. Currently, our Italian and Greek Carers group are run together.

Working in partnership with participants, we develop group activities based on preferred interests, hobbies and abilities. Some activities are tailored to support people to retain or learn new skills, and to participate at a level they are most confident and comfortable with. Group-based activities may include:
• art, craft and other hobbies
• men’s, women’s and mixed social groups (games, guest speakers, entertainment, bus trips, lunch outings)
• wellness groups (gentle exercise, massage, education and discussion)
• educational activities/courses.
Activities are flexible depending on interests and skills people bring to the group. Group based activities are currently held at venues in the Elizabeth area. Transport to and from the venue may be provided, depending on your circumstances. Staff and volunteers are trained in supporting older people and people living with dementia.

We know it's important for carers to look after themselves, while feeling assured that their loved one is being cared for. Our care team provide tailored elderly support so your family or carer can rest, recharge, or take some time to do the things they enjoy doing.

Attend one of the regular Social Support Group sessions to enjoy interaction with like-minded people, make new friends and share activities. The activities are varied and designed to promote physical motion, stimulate reminiscence and encourage emotional well-being.

Social Support
Carers support
Our services can support carers through respite programs and education programs to assist with managing the needs of the person they care for. Carer support programs and services
are designed to give relief to carers by offering support when and where it is needed the most.

Men's group
We have social groups for men, focused on keeping them socially engaged while enjoying activities at our centres or within the local community.

Social activities - individual and group Social support assists clients to participate in community life and feel socially included though companionship and activities in their local communities. These activities can be group based at one of our centres or community excursions or individual support to complete shopping and bill paying activities.
