Access to appropriate transport is key to supporting older people's independence, social inclusion, and overall wellbeing.
The team at Merton Living Denman understand the importance of this, having purchased two Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Aspire vehicles through a $70,000 partnership with Glencore Coal.
The vehicles now play a crucial role in Merton Living's operations, enhancing the home care services provided to the 25 elderly residents currently under their care.
With these vehicles, residents have readily available transport to medical appointments, social activities, and essential services.
Continued Collaboration
“Reliable and accessible transportation is essential for the wellbeing and independence of our elderly residents, and these vehicles help us to deliver vital services efficiently,” said Shani Mitchell, Merton Living Denman General Manager.
“We are immensely grateful to Glencore Coal for their continued support and generous donation. These vehicles will make a significant difference in the lives of our residents, ensuring they have access to the care and services they need.”
Glencore Coal Community Relations Coordinator Tracey Snedden said:
“The new vehicles will significantly boost Merton Living’s capacity to provide timely and personalized services to seniors in Deman, near our Mangoola Open Cut operation. We are proud to support an organisation that fosters independence and connection while addressing the unique needs of the senior community.”
