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 />
