West Coast Services for Older People

HomeShare

Enliven is working in partnership with the West Coast District Health Board to bring the innovative HomeShare programme to the Coast. The service enables isolated older people who cannot access existing day-care facilities to meet in small groups in private homes in their community to enjoy a day activity programme, companionship and a hot, home-cooked meal.  Hosts with suitable premises are contracted to open their homes up to a small group of older people for six hours each session and provide a hot meal. They are trained and receive ongoing support from the service co-ordinator, Joan Lyon. Participants will be referred through the hospital’s CareLink service.
