Our Bus
Our Stay Connected Bus Is A Game Changer For Our Clients.
Many of our clients do not regularly have the opportunity of leaving the house due to their conditions, so we thought what if we could take our clients out and about on a range of social outings! Wouldn’t that be something! Well, just look at the happy smiling faces of our clients ready for another fun day travelling around Port Stephens. Social chats over lunch on the Marina, a spot of shopping with morning tea or visiting the local pre-school – our bus has been designed with our clients in mind and is safe and comfortable. Smiles all round. 
Our Activities
All our activities are tailored to our individual clients levels and abilities.
These are some of the fun things we get up to on a daily and weekly basis. If you would like more information about these activities please contact Maraya.

Tovertafel
Tovertafel means ‘magic table’ in Dutch. The Tovertafel promotes physical activity, improves relationships, and increases happiness. Through the power of play, we provide care that is designed to create meaningful connections and enrich quality of life.
ACTIVITIES
Virtual Reality
Virtual Reality has been shown to improve social wellbeing in older adults. It can positively affect the cognitive and physical functioning of those with mild cognitive impairment or dementia.
ACTIVITIES
Quizzes & Trivia
Trivia is used particularly for seniors because of all the benefits it has on the brain. Many seniors are at risk for decreased memory and keeping their brains working helps to promote a healthy brain.

Board Games & Puzzles
Games and puzzles allow an older person the opportunity to use their problem solving and critical thinking skills. These activities are a wonderful way of keeping the brain engaged and functioning at its highest capacity. Playing board games are great for our critical thinking skills and keeping alert.
