message
I would like to welcome you to 2016 and the January edition of Salisbury Seniors.
A new year is a time for new beginnings, maybe new resolutions or new interests and I
encourage you to read through the Salisbury Seniors Magazine – you might find inspiration to
try something new, find information you need and hopefully be entertained by the articles.
Firstly, I'd like to thank the
Home Assist volunteers
for all their hard work and
congratulate them on winning
the 2015 Salisbury Living
Legend Award.
I encourage you to read how
seniors can have a voice in the
issues that affect their lives
through development of the
Salisbury Seniors Alliance. This
group will play a major role in
the effectiveness of creating
an age-friendly Salisbury.
Further information about this
opportunity will be circulated
1 Salisbury SENIORS
through Council publications
and the Messenger over coming
months.
January and February are
usually the hottest months of
our South Australian year and
we have included information
about how to keep safe during
this time. Tips include: staying
hydrated; dressing for summer;
checking on those at risk and
minimising your sun exposure.
The magazine also includes
an update on the Jack Young
Centre, which is open every day
providing an air-conditioned
venue where seniors can get
involved in a range of activities,
purchase nutritious meals
and there is always someone
there to assist if you require
information or additional
support to continue living well
at home.
Yours sincerely,
Gillian Aldridge JP
Mayor of Salisbury

support to stay living
Independently
Do you know that there are
services available to assist older
people to live independently
at home and stay active in the
community?
The Commonwealth Home Support Programme
(CHSP) provides services for people aged
65 years and over (or 50 years and over
for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
people) who need support to remain living
independently at home. Carers of these people
will also benefit from these services.
Services provided through this program draw
on wellness and re-ablement approaches
according to individual choice and control.
It is well understood that these approaches
help older people to improve their function,
independence and quality of life.
My Aged Care is your one-stop-shop for
aged care services and information. They
can provide a range of information about
aged care and help your choice of service
provider. My Aged Care can be contacted on
1800 200 422 between 8am and 8pm locally
Monday to Friday and 10am to 2pm locally on
Saturday (closed Sundays and National Public
Holidays). Otherwise visit the website at www.
myagedcare.gov.au.
Please call the Salisbury Home Assist Office
on 8406 8225 or speak with a co-ordinator
at one of our centres if you would like further
information and/or support to access My Aged
Care.
CHSP services vary according to individual
circumstances and may include shopping,
domestic assistance, home modifications such
as safety rails, home maintenance including
gardening, transport, social groups and meals
(e.g. Jack Young Centre activities and Café).
If you already access a service from Salisbury
Home Assist or through the Jack Young, Para
Hills and/or Pine Lakes centres, this will remain
the same.
If you require a different type of service
(e.g. transport in addition to cleaning), or
your needs change significantly, or you are
accessing a service for the first time then
you’ll be required to register through
My Aged Care.
Support with shopping: Irene with
Home Assist volunteer Dave.

council on the ageing
SA Conversation with
Northern Seniors
An exciting new partnership
between City of Salisbury, COTA
SA and the Northern Collaborative
Project's (NCP) Community
Ambassadors Group will see a
series of bi-monthly forums being
held in 2016 at the John Harvey
Gallery, located in the Council
Municipal office at 12 James Street,
Salisbury.
These community forums will cover a range of
topics for Salisbury Seniors, offer information
on issues that impact on our lives as we age,
and seek the perspective of older people in
addressing these issues.
Two sessions were held in 2015. The COTA
SA Conversation with Northern Seniors in
October 2015 explored housing options and the
accommodation experiences of seniors.
The highly successful forum titled 'A geism
- Alive and Thriving' held in December 2015,
engaged a range of speakers and older people
in discussion that challenged ageism and
promoted positive stereotypes of older people.
Come along to the John Harvey Gallery
on Tuesday 16 February at 9.30am for a
conversation on Road Safety & Driving for
Seniors.
More information will be available at the Jack
Young Centre or phone Sue on 8406 8566.
salisbury seniors alliance
The City of Salisbury is calling out to older residents to join the
Salisbury Seniors Alliance.
This Alliance will enable older residents to have an ongoing voice in the implementation of the
City of Salisbury’s Age-Friendly Salisbury Strategy and be able to make comments to Council
about issues that affect their lives.
If you are interested in knowing more about this Alliance and how you can contribute, please
contact Julie Fyfe, Social Planner, Community Health and Wellbeing Division on 8406 8291.

HOME ASSIST VOLUNTEERS
are Living Legends
The Home Assist volunteer
team won the inaugural City of
Salisbury Living Legends Award
at the 2015 Legends Awards
ceremony on 28 October.
These volunteers were nominated because
they contribute positively to the quality of
life of many older people and people with
disability living in Salisbury.
The team of 30 volunteers in Home Assist are
out and about in the community providing:
• Transport to appointments and social
activities
• Day trip drivers to various locations
• Assistance with shopping, and
• Gardening support.
When accepting the award on behalf of the
team, Home Assist volunteer Kym Hardwick
acknowledged the valuable work of his peers
and emphasised that each of them get so much
more back than they give.
If you, or someone you know, would like to
volunteer in the Home Assist Team, please
contact Sue on 8406 8276.

Senior centre
happenings
Hello all,
I hope you all had a wonderful
Christmas and are ready for the
exiting new year we have planned at
our three senior centres.
The biggest change you will see this year
is a fully functional use of our membership
card – the Salisbury Seniors Card. All current
members should have received their new
membership card by now. If you are a current
member and have not yet received your
membership card please speak to a staff
member.
As you arrive at a centre please present your card
to our friendly receptionists who will then record
your attendance. Also when booking a meal
please take your membership card to the cashier
and they will book your meal. The new system will
help us with data recording and create a seamless
meal booking system, eliminating errors and
paperwork.
At the end of 2015 I attended an Active
Ageing conference. Key messages from this
conference reinforced the importance of
73 Salisbury
Salisbury SENIORS
SENIORS
embedding wellness, re-ablement and
restorative care approaches in our programs and
taking an active ageing approach.
We have been developing our wellness and
re-ablement approaches in recent years and will
ensure these remain at the core of our values
and mission for our seniors centres and home
support services. We will continue to explore
different opportunities and new ways we can
collaborate with others in this field to provide
a range of wellness programs that promote
independence and improve strength, balance
and confidence.
Feedback forms are available in the foyer of the
Jack Young Centre. Feel free to let us know what
your thoughts are, what is working and what isn’t
and how we could do things better.
As always, please come and see me if there is
anything you would like to talk about – my door
is always open and you are most welcome.
Keep cool over the warm months
Vesna Haracic
Social Participation and Diversity Team Leader
from the jack young centre
Hi everybody,
Well… 2015 finished off as a
hugely successful year of events
at the Jack Young Centre.
A Valentine’s Day Cabaret will be held on
Saturday 13 February. What a great way to spend
an afternoon dancing it away with someone
special.
From the great turn out of the Ladies Fashion
Show, the large turnout for the Melbourne Cup
Day and of course the Christmas Parade and
craft fair at the centre.
On 19 February we are going to test your general
knowledge with a Quiz Afternoon. Grab your
friends and come and join us for an informative
afternoon full of laughs with prizes to be won.
Afternoon tea will be included.
We hope you all had a good, safe Christmas
and didn’t over indulge in the turkey and
trimmings! Speaking of food, have you seen
the new Summer Menu? There is a lot of
delicious new meals along with some of your
old favourites. Don’t forget Thursday night
is Schnitzel Night and that we’re open for
breakfast each Saturday.
We are looking forward to a great 2016 full
of many enjoyable events at the Jack Young
Centre. Here are some of the events that will
be happening early in the year:
A Musical Afternoon will be held on Friday 11
March. I am really excited about this as they say
‘Music soothes the soul’ and there is no better
way to relax than to sit back and listen to some
tunes along with a delicious afternoon tea
prepared by Jack’s Café.
If you like to know more about the centre,
please come along to our Jack Young Centre
Open Day on Thursday 17 March between 10am
and 3pm. Come and be surprised about what we
have to offer!

a word from para hills
Music to Your Ears
The Para Hills Songsters, as they
have become known, were born
from an idea that came about
after the success of the Para
Hills Seniors Centre Musical
Melodies afternoon concerts.
Singing is such a wonderful release and
you get the opportunity to sing to all kinds
of different music, build confidence and
meet new friends too!
People were enthused by the fun and sheer
happiness that surrounded these music events
and wanted to join with other like-minded
people who share an interest in singing.
Come along to the Para Hills Centre on
Thursday mornings at 9am and give it a
try! Phone Karen on 8406 8544 for more
information.
There is so much joy to be had from joining
these weekly singing sessions at the Para
Hills Seniors Centre; a sense of happiness
and belonging will leave you feeling mentally
stimulated and yearning for more singing
throughout your day.

Wood burning, also called
pyrography, is the process of
drawing a picture on a piece of
wood with a hot brass tip. Not only
is it a great way to relieve stress,
it's also an eye-catching artistic
pursuit, and looks great in a wide
range of homes.
Wood burn yourself a piece of art
to hang on walls, or for others,
as a gift. Whatever project you
pursue, you'll want to familiarize
yourself with wood burning basics
before starting.
So come along and try the art of

supportING tHE COMMUNITY
to find a happy home
Ennio, 90, and his wife Liliana, 87,
were the happiest Italian couple
last month as they secured
themselves a Housing SA unit.
Thuy Nguyen, Housing Officer and Mary
Ceravolo, Program Co-ordinator assisted
Ennio and Liliana to vacate their private rental
unit, move into the new Housing SA property,
organised utility connection and removal
service.
Prior to getting this accommodation they
were living in a private rental property. It was a
multi-storey flat with no private yard and they
had to walk up and down two flights of stairs
to get in and out of the unit.
Thuy and Mary managed to source basic
furniture from opportunity shops and helped
decorate the new home.
Liliana is dependent on her walking frame,
however, she could not use her frame while
going up or down the stairs. Falling down the
stairs was something that was constantly on
her mind.
Liliana said she is “so thankful” for the
support of the Housing Program as her life
has changed. Ennio and Liliana continue
to participate in the Italian Social Support
Program at Pine Lakes and are much happier.

Boost Your Brain Health Through
Social Activity Explored
Step One - Look after your heart
Engaging in social activities is a great
way to meet new people and discover
new activities. Socialising is also a great
way to boost your brain power.
Step Two - Be physically active
Step Three - Mentally challenge your brain
Step Four - Follow a healthy diet
Step Five - Enjoy social activity

Say the months of the year in
alphabetical order. Easy? Well, why
don't you try doing so in backwards,
in reverse alphabetical order?
Research demonstrates that social
engagement has many cognitive
benefits including reducing vascular
conditions and depression. It can also
assist in building a brain reserve, which
can lower your chance of developing
dementia.
Michael Stroeh is an experienced
dementia educator who can assist
you with questions or concerns about
dementia or memory loss. Michael is
available at the Jack Young Centre on
Thursdays 3.30pm to 5pm or phone him

with the grandkids
Would you like to spend quality
time with your grandkids, but are
not sure what to do?
Why not create some great memories by
volunteering together. Here are a few tips to
help you get started:
Tip 1
The first thing you’ll need to do is consider
your time and the time the grandkids have
available. So ask the kids what suits them
best; a couple of hours on a weekend, a half a
day every couple of months or even just a ‘one
off’ to give it a try.
Tip 2
Next, as a group, identify a common interest.
For example, do you all want to help the
environment, or would you all prefer to help at
an event.
Tip 3
Then, together choose the organisation.
Why not ask the grandkids to look online
and see what local organisations they can
find that meets your interest.
Tip 4
Lastly, make memories – while you are
planning or when you are volunteering, find
opportunities to have fun.
In the next edition we’ll look at how you can
share your skills and knowledge through
mentoring.

positive action in sa
Safeguarding the rights of
older people
On 4 November 2015 SA Minister
for Ageing, Zoe Bettison
launched a new campaign to
address the ‘scourge of elder
abuse’.
Since the launch you may have seen elder
abuse prevention and support advertisements
running in the local Messenger and other
media. This is part of an awareness campaign
being coordinated by the Office for the Ageing,
SA Health.
This campaign is promoting messages to
safeguard the rights of older people and
increase awareness of elder abuse by helping
the South Australian community to:
• Recognise the signs of elder abuse
• Know where to go for support and
information
Elder abuse is an act that causes deliberate
or unintended harm to an older person, from a
person they know and trust.
15 Salisbury SENIORS
Around one in 20 older Australians experiences
some form of abuse from someone they trust,
who is often a member of their own family.
This abuse can be financial, emotional,
physical and even sexual. Over the past
five years, elder abuse has most commonly
included financial and emotional abuse and in
80% of cases the abuse was carried out by a
family member.
It is important that the community has a clear
understanding of the rights of older people
and how these rights can be protected. This
includes being aware of the signs of elder
abuse and knowing where to go for help.
Recognise the signs and help put an end to
elder abuse - visit www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/
stopelderabuse for more information.
If you suspect abuse is occurring or you want
to check in with your own experiences.
Call the SA Elder Abuse Prevention Phone Line
on 1800 372 310.
northern community
Legal service outreach
There are a wide range of issues

to seek legal information and
referral advice about.

• Advice on documents related to planning
for the future. e.g. Wills, Enduring Power of
Attorney, Advance Care Directives
• Grandparent related questions
• Driving related issues
• Tenancy related issues
Staff from the Northern Community Legal

Tuesday the at Jack Young Centre between
10am to 12noon. This service will commence on
Tuesday 2 February 2016.

telecross redI
The Telecross REDi service supports people
by calling them during extreme heat events.
Telecross REDi is activated by the South
Australian Department for Communities and
Social Inclusion when an extreme weather
event is declared.
Telecross REDi assists vulnerable and isolated
people cope with extreme weather events. In
January and February 2009, South Australia
suffered a heatwave that claimed many lives
and hospitalised many more. Since then,
Telecross REDi has provided assurance for
clients, their families and carers who know that
their loved ones are regularly contacted during
extreme heat events.
Red Cross volunteers call pre-registered clients
to check on their wellbeing. The callers ask
people how they are coping and remind clients
of important measures to assist them through
the extreme weather.
Pictured right is Ann, one of the volunteers
who called over 2100 people during the South
Australia heatwave in 2014. During the calls,
Red Cross volunteers provide practical advice
and ask questions to determine how the
person is coping.
To register your interest on this service,
please contact Telecross REDi on 1800 188 071
from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm or email
[email protected].

Telecross REDi Worker, Ann
are you prepared for
the extreme heat?
Heatwaves can have a detrimental impact on communities.
They affect many parts of everyday life such as health and wellbeing, energy and infrastructure,
public transport and agriculture. They can also contribute to an increased fire risk and heat
stressed trees, which pose a significant threat to public safety.
Older people and people with chronic illness are two of a number of groups considered
vulnerable in a heat wave. To learn more about how you can prepare for and reduce the impact
of extreme heat see the tips below.
Stay hydrated
You should drink two to three litres of water a day even if you don't feel thirsty. Avoid
'fizzy', alcoholic and caffeinated drinks and do not take salt tablets (unless instructed
to by a GP).
Dress for summer
Lightweight, light coloured clothing reflects heat and sunlight and helps your body
maintain a normal temperature.
Check on those at risk
Visit at risk individuals such as the sick and elderly at least twice a day and keep an
eye on children. Watch for signs of heat-related illness.
Minimise sun exposure
Keep out of the sun as much as possible. If you must be in the sun, wear a shirt, hat
and sunglasses. Also make sure you wear sunscreen to prevent sunburn, but beware it
limits the body's ability to cope with heat.
Prepare your home
Prepare your home early. Service or replace your air conditioner BEFORE you need it.
Curtains, awnings and blinds can also help to keep the home cool.
Make use of air conditioning
If you don't have air conditioning, make use of public facilities such as shopping
centres, art galleries, cinemas or other air conditioned buildings. Portable fans are
also useful in drawing in cool air or exhausting warm air from a room.
Remember your pets
Pets can be particularly vulnerable to the heat. Make sure they have shade and plenty
of cool water to last the day.
Seek medical advice if necessary
For medical advice contact your local GP or telephone Healthdirect Australia on
1800 022 222. For immediate medical assistance telephone 000.
