Allow yourself time to recharge and reset, with the peace of mind knowing your loved one is well cared for.
Day Programs.
As a carer, your needs are often set aside to prioritise your loved one’s.
With household tasks and personal admin piling up, sometimes all you need is a bit of extra time to get on top of everything.
Our ECH Day Programs exist with this in mind, providing a safe and supportive environment for your loved one, whilst you get a moment of respite and some well-earned personal time.
At ECH, we’re here to support you. We believe that more support for carers, means better wellbeing for everyone involved.
Locations.
Our Day Programs are run across four convenient locations in Adelaide:
College Grove, Walkerville
Henley Beach
Smithfield
Happy Valley
Programs are available Monday to Friday, from 9:30am to 3:30pm (excluding public holidays).
Day Programs allow your loved one to socialise in a friendly environment, with regular visits from community members and local school children.
We also provide spaces for quiet alone time if needed during the day.
All our Day Programs include a nutritious lunch as well as morning and afternoon tea, and snacks.
If you need transport to and from the centre, an ECH bus or other modes of transport can be arranged at an additional cost (excluding Happy Valley Day Program).
Dementia Day Respite.
We offer Dementia Day Respite, a Day Program especially for people with Dementia or memory loss.
Our Dementia trained, Social Program Leads provide a compassionate and safe environment for your loved one, whilst offering much-needed break for yourself.
No matter your loved one’s age, Day Programs are available on a self-funded basis.
If they are 65 or over, they may qualify for a Home Care Package (HCP) or the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) and you may be able to use some of this funding to access a Day Program.
