Stay Connected, Stay Active, Stay Engaged
At Cultura, we know that staying socially connected is just as important as maintaining physical health. Our Social Support Groups offer a welcoming space for older community members to connect, engage, and enjoy meaningful activities, all while receiving the support they need.
Our Centre-Based Day Respite programs, based at the Healthy Living Centre in Geelong, are designed for individuals who are eligible for assistance through the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP), Home Care Packages (HCP), or the Home and Community Care Program for Younger People (HACC PYP).
A Place to Connect and Thrive
Our Social Support Groups are about more than just activities—they’re about building friendships, staying independent, and having fun. Whether you want to enjoy a relaxing day socialising, participate in creative workshops, or stay active with gentle movement exercises, our programs are designed around your interests and preferences.
Our experienced and caring team tailors activities to promote well-being, independence, and social inclusion, ensuring you feel supported, engaged, and valued.
We offer half-day and full-day programs, running Monday to Friday, with a healthy morning tea and lunch provided. Transport may be available, depending on client funding.
What’s on Offer?
Each session is guided by participants’ interests, meaning no two days are the same! Activities may include:
- Mind-Body-Moves: Gentle, chair-based exercise to help maintain mobility, strength, and well-being. Available Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
- Art and Craft: Creative sessions where you can paint, draw, or craft while socialising with friends.
- Outings: Enjoy local excursions, visits to parks, cafés, and other community spots.
- Social Engagement: Share conversations, laughs, and experiences in a friendly and supportive setting.
- Support for Carers: Giving carers peace of mind knowing their loved ones are enjoying a safe and stimulating environment.
How to Join Our Social Support Groups
