Co.As.It. Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS)

The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) enriches the quality of life of CALD (Culturally and Linguistically Diverse) elderly clients living at home as care recipients of a Home Care Package. The 'Adopt a Nonna or Nonno' initiative also helps establish links between the people living in their homes to better connect with the local community. Visitors are volunteers who are matched with the resident or Home Care Package care recipient and visit them regularly. Visits can include:

• Reading
• Listening to music
• Chatting and/or reminiscing
• Watching TV together
• Walking together
• Playing Cards
