The new Neighbourhood Central Healthy Lifestyle and Wellness Program for older people is just about to commence.
The 20-week program will offer a variety of relaxing and fun modified activities to increase health and wellbeing and will accommodate all levels of ability.
There will be activities in Parkes and Forbes, with some selected sessions in Peak Hill and Condobolin. Transport will be offered to selected events for people in areas such as Trundle and Tullamore.
Sessions will include hydrotherapy, Tai Chi, yoga in a chair, older adults fitness group, and music and singing groups. There will also be information workshops to help increase health awareness and promote falls strategies to prevent or delay further entry into the aged care system, make you feel good and keep you living in your home for longer.
