Aged Care Day Programs & Activities
An Invitation to Connect
At Lumia Care, we know that connection is just as important as care — especially as care needs change. Our Aged Care Day Programs in Melbourne are available either privately or with support through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP). More than just activities, each session is an open invitation to share stories, build friendships, and enjoy the simple joy of spending time with others in a warm, welcoming environment. Whether you join us weekly or occasionally, every visit brings laughter, companionship, and a true sense of belonging.

What Are Aged Care Day Programs?
Aged care day programs are structured sessions that support older adults through a mix of social activities, gentle movement and meaningful engagement, all within a safe and welcoming environment.
These day care programs for elderly individuals help provide connection, routine and support while allowing participants to continue living at home. Whether attending regularly or occasionally, elderly day care programs offer a flexible way to stay active, social and supported throughout the week.
What We Offer
Our aged care day programs are designed to support both physical and social wellbeing, offering flexible options to suit different interests, routines and levels of support.
Social Activity Day Program (Full Day)
Running from 9:30am to 3:30pm, our full-day experience offers a balanced mix of physical movement, mental stimulation, and creative expression. It is designed to support wellbeing, offer companionship, and spark moments of joy — all in a safe, welcoming environment.
What’s included:
✔ Strength and balance sessions

Individual Activity Sessions (30–60 mins)
We believe that real care means making space for what matters most to you. Our individual sessions are designed to fit around your schedule and spark your interests — whether that’s moving your body, exploring your creativity, or simply connecting with others.
You choose a time that suits you, and we’ll take care of the rest. Expect a warm, welcoming experience that’s as social as it is supportive — with expert guidance every step of the way.
What’s on offer:
✔ Art and painting

This program may be funded via CHSP, private arrangements, or through a client's Home Care Package (HCP).

How the Elderly May Benefit from Aged Care Day Programs
