The wellness programme will have four key thrusts:
Information
At the centres, older folk can find out where to get services and referrals - whether these are medical, social or job-related.
Health checks
The centres will run health screenings so illnesses can be prevented or caught early and treated.
Socialising
Older folk can sign up for activities at these centres to improve their health and fitness and find friends so they can stay active and socially engaged.
Services
The centres will go as far as possible to bring services for older folk - such as physiotherapy and day care - under the same roof.
