From 2017 to now, the Australian Russian – Chinese Friendship Association has established home-based elderly care services for more than eight years. Under the leadership of President Ge and President Dou of the Friendship Association, the home-based elderly care activity has been carried out in a lively and colorful way! It has a complete service system.
First, we help elderly friends who are eligible for home-based elderly care packages to apply, and then we start to provide various services after review, evaluation and approval by relevant government departments. We have professional service staff, all of whom hold third- to fourth-level certificates for elderly care issued by the government, and the police have no criminal records.
These employees will provide home-based elderly care services to the elderly according to actual conditions, such as home hygiene, mowing, pick-up, doctor visits, shopping, etc. Our employees have multiple insurances.
In addition, we also take these elderly friends to the Cabramatta Community Centre every Tuesday to participate in various activities. Such as: playing mahjong, playing games, lunch, etc…. We also celebrate the birthdays of elderly friends every month.
President Ge has done a lot of work to run home-based elderly care services. She has worked tirelessly and devoted her heart and soul! She has created a good environment for the elderly to live a good life in their later years.
Every festival, in accordance with the festival content, the home-based elderly care service centre prepares sweet and delicious holiday meals for everyone.
