Allied Health and
Day Respite Services
Our Allied Health Services at Wheller
Gardens, and Allied Health and Day
Respite Services at Sinnamon Village,
provide residents and community clients
with services such as physiotherapy,
occupational therapy, podiatry, nutrition
advice and more. Two day respite
services also run from Sinnamon
Village offering community clients
- both aged clients and clients with
dementia - a comprehensive social and
innovative behavioural day program.
Key achievements for our therapy centres in 2011-12
have included growth in group programs such as Men’s
Shed, Exercise for Fitness, pilates classes, and healthy
eating and cooking classes. We’ve seen increasing
involvement with Wheller on The Park residents,
now averaging 75 appointments per month. Over 100
clients are visiting the Sinnamon Wellness Gym on a
regular basis and the physiotherapists at both centres
are customising individual exercise programs for them.
The Hadden Place Day Respite and Therapy Centre at
Sinnamon Village provides day respite for those who
have dementia and are still living at home, and support
for the dedicated family and friends who care for them.
Occasions of service
Community clients
During the last year Hadden Place has won an award for
Aged Care Queensland Excellence In Care for positive
media portrayal of older people living with dementia.
The Humour Intervention Project was also nominated
for an International Dementia Excellence Award and
the innovative Art & Memory Program, including a new
program for the Queensland Art Gallery, has provided
specific tours for people living with dementia.
In the coming year, we will seek further funding
opportunities to realise the construction of a
purpose-built gym at Sinnamon Village, and will
continue to develop new and innovative ways of
meeting the ever-changing needs of our clients.
