Social Support
and Community Engagement
Staying socially connected is just as important as looking after your physical health. With your Support at Home funding, Medicana provides trusted social support services to help older people feel connected, engaged, and supported in their community.
Our friendly support workers offer companionship, encouragement, and practical assistance so you can enjoy activities, outings, and meaningful social interactions that improve your wellbeing and independence.
What Social Support Covers
Companionship at Home
Friendly visits, conversation, and shared activities to reduce loneliness.
Community Outings
Assistance to attend social groups, clubs, or community events.
Support for Hobbies & Interests
Encouragement and help with leisure activities you enjoy.
Escorted Appointments & Activities
Having a support worker by your side when attending outings or events.
Staying Connected
Assistance to use the phone, video calls, or community resources to keep in touch with family and friends.
Why Social Support Matters
Many older Australians experience isolation, which can affect mood, health, and independence. Social support services for seniors help you stay connected, participate in community life, and maintain a sense of purpose. With Medicana, you’ll have the reassurance of a consistent, friendly support worker who values your interests and respects your choices.
