AGEING WELL HISTORY Wellness Programs The BCR Communities Wellness Program has been designed especially for seniors and includes activities that not only improve physical fitness and strength but also increase general well-being. Regular participation in activities that aim to improve balance, coordination, strength and mobility will lower the risk of falls and help you to stay happy and healthy in your own home for longer. The groups are small, fun and social and run by qualified professionals who have extensive experience working with seniors. New participants are always welcome to our social support groups. Timetable The BCR Communities Wellness Programs are funded through the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) so you will need to contact My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 to access this service.

Contact BCR today to find out more about our wellness programs "The classes have helped me a lot especially with my balance and my core strength. The physios are excellent and really good company, they make the classes a lot of fun. I feel fit for my age but the classes make you do those exercises that you know you should be doing as you age but you don’t get around to doing yourself at home." LUCY

Contact BCR today to find out more about how we can support you at home Values Based Care Plans The BCR Communities difference is that we really get to know you before creating a plan of support. We use ExSitu , an innovative and award-winning app designed to provide the highest level of values-based care. ​ We are moving from filling in complicated or confusing forms so you can sit in the comfort or your own home with a BCR Communities care staff member and answer ExSitu’s simple card-based questions. ​ The app will help you to identify what is important to you, what gives you joy, and how we might support you to live your best possible life. By establishing your core values and lifestyle desires, ExSitu can generate a values-based care plan that is truly personalised for you. More about ExSitu What is the Commonwealth Home Support Program? The Commonwealth Home Support Program or CHSP is funding provided by the Government to help older Australians get more out of life. CHSP is designed to deliver low-level support. The focus is on supporting you to retain your independence rather than doing things for you. As your needs change or grow more complex, you may need to move to a Home Care Package. ​ Our Home Care Packages ​ To apply for CHSP funding you need to contact My Aged Care. You can register your interest by calling 1800 200 422 or going to the website myagedcare.gov.au. You will then be contacted by an Aged Care Assessment Service who will assess the services you need. If you are approved for CHSP you will then be able to choose a registered service provider like BCR Communities. My Aged Care Am I eligible for CHSP? Eligibility for the CHSP is based on your age and your support needs. CHSP could be what you need if you are: having a little difficulty with everyday tasks need some support to continue to live independently in your community looking for ways to support your health and well-being 65 years or older (50 years or older for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people) Schedule of fees “Everyone at BCR Communities has just been so helpful. They make you feel like you are important to them. A lot of groups make you feel like you are just a number but not them. It actually makes me tearful when I think about how lovely they are.” VERA
