THE last few years have shown the importance of social interaction, particularly for older people who may be more isolated in their everyday lives.
Local not-for-profit aged care and disability support service provider, Glasshouse Country Care has been recognised for their senior’s social program which has been encouraging social connections and reducing loneliness in our local community for
over 25 years.
The organisation has just been nominated and selected as a finalist for the Senior Group of the Year Award in the fifth annual Fisher Community Awards organised by Federal Member for Fisher, Andrew Wallace. Activity program coordinator, Kath Wallwork has also been selected as a finalist for Employee of the Year.
“We are genuinely touched,” said General Manager Clare Mullins. “The wellbeing of our clients is at the heart of everything we do, and we know the difference our social program makes. It was hit hard by Covid lockdowns, but we were determined to come back stronger.”
