Testimonials from Social Support
program
The impact that the Social Support program
has on individuals' lives is evident in the
following anecdotes:
The daughter of a male client recently told
Doncare staff,
“I really appreciate it that you take Dad
out. It’s really changed him. I’m sure he
doesn’t remember much, but it’s made a big
difference to his life. He used to be really
depressed and had nothing to look forward to.”
The gentleman this woman is referring to is
actually one of the most popular in the groups
and the ladies have asked that we rotate him, so
that they can all enjoy him!
Another client had a major fall recently
while shopping. She injured her hip and required
plaster on her arm. Nevertheless, she asked her
daughter to drop her off to the Saturday Club
the same week!
