People are living longer and want to continue to be involved in their community. Council aims to foster a healthy, active and socially supported life for older adults and those living with a disability. It aims to strengthen and empower people to advocate on their own behalf. Council does this in two main ways:
- It carries out a community development and planning role to ensure that the community is inclusive of older adults and people living with a disability.
- It provides a range of services in residents’ homes to assist eligible people to live independently in their homes and in the community. These services include assessment, home care, personal care, and support for carers, delivered and centre meals, home maintenance, older adults activities and case-management.
These activities are carried out in partnership with community agencies such as neighbourhood houses, health centres, seniors clubs and other community organisations.
Council is seeking community feedback to develop a new four year Disability Action Plan 2010-2013.
Council has introduced a Customer Service Guarantee, with 60 specific commitments, to improve customer service for the Yarra community. Read more about our commitments for Community care.
