Healthy Me Healthy Community
How the ‘Healthy Me, Healthy Community’ trailblazing social wellness initiative has changed – and continues to change – Erika’s life.
Retiring after a long and fruitful career can be associated with feelings of loneliness, unfulfillment, and a lack of purpose. That’s where the Healthy Me, Healthy Community program can help.
Moving into residential aged care posed a significant lifestyle adjustment for 78-year-old James (Jim) Woodford. When he heard about the Healthy Me, Healthy Community (HMHC) program, Jim was keen to find out more information so he could establish how this free 15-week social wellbeing program could help him build connections within his local community.
With a hearty laugh overflowing with optimism, it’s hard to imagine 69-year-old Jill ever feeling down. It wasn’t long ago, however, during an endless wait for a heart transplant, she faced a choice – to remain stuck in a rut or start living. With courage (and a self-directed kick in the rear), she enrolled in Feros Care’s Healthy Me, Healthy Community (HMHC) program.
Now, she’s making each day count instead of counting down the days.
