COMMUNITY SERVICES<br />
Balmoral Planned Activity Group (BPAG)<br />
The goal <strong>of</strong> the BPAG is to assist people<br />
to live in their homes and community as<br />
independently as possible.<br />
Independence refers to the capacity <strong>of</strong><br />
people to manage the day to day<br />
activities <strong>of</strong> their daily life and make<br />
decisions about their life. BPAG provides<br />
programs to ensure that clients are able<br />
to gain the greatest level <strong>of</strong><br />
independence they can achieve. Equally<br />
they must be as actively involved in<br />
making decisions about their life as<br />
possible. Such decisions include: the<br />
type <strong>of</strong> events they wish to attend, guest<br />
speakers on a wide range <strong>of</strong> different<br />
subjects and visiting many different<br />
locations in the area. This assists client<br />
independence which is supported by the<br />
Active Service Model.<br />
