CHN funded 6 healthy ageing programs to help older persons achieve health and wellbeing in place for longer and reduce the need of more acute care. The healthy ageing programs provide:
- nutrition classes and other information sessions on health and wellbeing for older persons, to help them retain independence (Annecto and Interchange Health Co-operative)
- exercise classes and multi-modal care with Nurse Coordinators, GPs and other allied health professionals (Interchange Health Co-operative and Fisher Family Practice)
- wrap around support services for people impacted by alcohol and drug use, including older people or people who age prematurely (CAHMA)
- education for primary care staff on how to care and better manage wounds in the community (Wound Innovations)
- innovative technology to assist carers for people with dementia in their care journey and provide better care for older persons diagnosed with dementia (Carer’s ACT).
