What Are Community-Based Supports?
Community-based supports are non-medical care programs and activities which are designed to improve the health and wellbeing of those people whose poor health is attributable to one or more of a range of social, economic and environmental factors.
Community-based supports are aligned with the ‘Social Prescribing’ non-medical model of care which recognises that factors such as loneliness, isolation and social anxiety are common root causes of poor health in many individuals.
Feros Care offers a range of community-based supports, such as our volunteer visitor program In Great Company, our Virtual Social Centre and our free 12-week program, Beating the COVID Blues.
