Home Ageing

By providing quality respite care for seniors, care relationships between carers and seniors could be maintained. Carers can take a break from the daily routine of care giving. Structured group-based activities and lunch are provided in Centre-Based Respite, which is called “CASS Wellness Ageing Centre”. Transportation could be arranged depending on the location of senior’s living place.

We serve seniors from East Asian backgrounds (mainly Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Indonesian communities) residing in the Inner West, South East, South West, Northern Regions of Sydney and Wollongong.
