If you’ve found yourself in or around the Sydney Hills district lately, you may have noticed a flash of aqua pass you by, as local BaptistCare clients are transported from their homes to social activities in brand-new premium buses.
BaptistCare’s new fleet, launched in August 2022, currently serves seniors in the local area who are members of BaptistCare at home Kellyville Social Club, a service which provides engaging and stimulating activities like bowls, craftwork, light exercise, and excursions to art galleries and museums.
Having replaced two much-loved buses that were purchased over a decade ago, the new vehicles are spacious, reliable, easy to clean, and most importantly, allow Kellyville's social club to continue providing an important service that means so much to our clients and their families.
“Seeing the bus arrive out the front of my house to take me out for the day is the highlight of my week” – Ruth, Kellyville social club client*
For many elderly people, getting out and about in the community is essential to mental and physical wellbeing. Equally, it’s important for carers to have time to regularly rest and recharge. Our social clubs aim to provide a means of respite, offering carers a well-deserved break when they need to take some time out for themselves.
“It feels like family driving me around my community” – Graham, Kellyville social club client*
With the new vehicles used daily in and around the Hills district, we are proud to see the BaptistCare brand paraded for all to see, a regular reminder of our dedication to the elderly people in our community.
