CAPTION:\u00a0<\/strong>Villa Maria Catholic Homes STAY bus has been fully fitted with equipment to enable mobile physiotherapy, remedial massage and podiatry services; a team of professional\u2019s travel with the bus and deliver services to pre-booked clients- the bus will be on display during an information evening on May 1 in Torquay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

GUY Wesley is a man who likes to keep busy and while Parkinson\u2019s may have slowed him down in recent years \u2013 the 82-year-old does his best to stay socially and physically active. Guy credits Villa Maria Catholic Homes (VMCH) with helping him maintain his quality of life \u2013 at home \u2013 where he wants to be.<\/p>\n

His Home Care Package (HCP) includes personal care assistance (provided through VMCH Direct), support with household tasks, social support, and massages from VMCH\u2019s Allied Health and Nursing team.<\/p>\n

Declining health led Guy to move from Sydney to Melbourne to be close to his daughter, Kris, seven years ago, – while his family is \u201cvery supportive\u201d Guy said he appreciates the independence VMCH allows.<\/p>\n

\u201cLorraine (care worker) is a great help and great company. Alexia (care worker) comes once a week and we go for a walk and have a yak. She helps me chat to the neighbours and meet other people because it\u2019s difficult for me to talk, due to the Parkinson,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

For Guy, it\u2019s the little things like getting to his fortnightly catch-up with mates and researching his family history, that keep him happy and connected.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know as my needs change, (VMCH) will be there to help me with whatever I require to keep going, which is vital.\u201d<\/p>\n

Would you like more information on how you or your loved one can stay independent, healthy and active well into the future?<\/p>\n

VMCH will run an aged care information session for Surf Coast residents on Tuesday May 1 from 10am-12pm at Spring Creek Community House, training room, 14 Price Street, Torquay.<\/p>\n

Keep an eye out for the \u2018STAY\u2019 bus during the session, where the team of experts can discuss your Allied Health needs.<\/p>\n
