The information we have entered in the various fields gives you an idea of the types of things people using Eldernet may be looking for in a service e.g., does the facility provide day care, respite care or short-term care.

This introductory section is about encouraging people to read more about the service/s you provide, so add plenty of detail about what sets you apart from your competitors to pique their interest. An eye-catching photo always helps draw attention to your listing too.

Meeting the needs of older people

Meeting the needs of older people
When we meet you we will address you personally. If you have a support person with you we will of course welcome them, however we’d like our main discussion to be with you as much as possible. If you need a special type of assistance please tell us how we can best help. We won't take over, however please be confident that our staff are well trained and know how to provide appropriate assistance when and if needed.
