If the thought of an older person feeling isolated or lonely tugs at your heart strings and makes you want to do something about it, then we’d love to hear from you. We’re a small not for profit aiming to do big things! It’s our goal to try to eliminate the elderly feeling secluded whilst in residential care. To do this, we connect volunteers with the elderly so they can develop long lasting, meaningful friendships.
The QCCN manages a number of programs that support the elderly in many ways. As well as the elderly, our programs also aim to help the disadvantaged and disabled. We develop and facilitate a comprehensive and integrated range of community and home care programs that assist older people to stay in their own homes longer and delay admission into aged care.
Funded by the Department of Health, the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) provides aged care residents with regular visits from volunteer visitors. These one-on-one connections help reduce loneliness, support emotional wellbeing, and bring comfort and joy to those who may not have regular contact with family or friends.
