H Θάλεια Ιωαννίδου από την Αυστραλο-ελληνική  Πρόνοια μιλάει  σε ηλικιωμένους


ΔΙΑΤΡΟΦΗ & ΑΣΚΗΣΗ ΓΙΑ ΥΓΕΙΑ
ΣΤΗΝ ΤΡΙΤΗ ΗΛΙΚΙΑ
... κAλιο αργA παρA ποτE !!!

Ένα ενημερωτικό πρόγραμμα, που μας δίνει την ευκαιρία να δημιουργήσουμε σχέσεις με προοπτική την καλύτερη υγεία  & τις φυσικές δραστηριότητες για άτομα ,κυρίως άνω των 55 ετών.

Η τεχνολογία έχει κάνει πια τη ζωή μας πολύ καθιστική και δεν πρόκειται για ελάττωμα του χαρακτήρα μας!

Έρευνες αποδεικνύουν ότι και μέτρια άσκηση και σωστή διατροφή μπορούν ν’ αποδώσουν σημαντικά οφέλη και ν’ αναστρέψουν   τα προβλήματα υγείας.

Εμείς όλοι, ο Ray Moon  (πρωταθλητής Αυστραλίας στο body building , ενώ ξεπέρασε   τα 80 του χρόνια) &  o Eric Rossario (καθηγητής σωματικής αγωγής – 79 χρονών) σας ενθαρρύνουμε να το πράξετε!

Australian Greek 
Welfare Society
 (AGWS)

Australian Greek Welfare Society (AGWS) provides
 a broad range of community services to the Greek community primarily in Victoria . The Australian-Greek community is ageing at a disproportionally faster rate than their Australian counterparts and facing many challenges associated with ageing. Many of the services provided by AGWS are in the area of aged care. While there are numerous support services for the elderly, people of non English speaking background (NESB) are often unaware of what services are available and/or how these can be accessed. AGWS is committed to  raising awareness of aged care options and helping people from the Greek community access the services most suited to their individual needs.

With a growing elderly population there is an increasing need for aged care facilities. Most often the preference by elderly Greeks is for admission into Greek facilities for cultural and linguistic reasons. However, it is not always possible to secure a place in a Greek aged care facility because of the current high demand therefore consideration needs to be given to mainstream facilities as well. AGWS is working collaboratively with mainstream aged care providers to ensure that staff understand the needs of Greek residents. AGWS does this in various ways including providing cross cultural training to staff so as to increase their knowledge of cultural issues and to ensure that the needs of people of diverse, non English speaking backgrounds are being met. AGWS assists aged care facilities in recruiting bilingual/bicultural staff and continually developing resources and strategies that will assist mainstream providers in providing culturally appropriate care.

AGWS also organises tours of nursing homes so people from the community have the opportunity to visit and meet the staff and residents and thereby be better equipped to make informed decisions if and when they need to consider entry into an aged care facility.
