ACCESSIBLE LIVING OPTIONS – 6th Annual Gala Sports Day

Accessible Living Options assists frail and/or aged people, people with disabilities and their carers to remain in their own homes. As anyone who lives in a home they love can appreciate, having to leave your family home would be a huge change to your lifestyle, and many people see this as taking away their independence. ALO are to be commended on the work they do to empower people to retain their lifestyle and home, and live independently for as long as possible.

ALO covers a significant area, including the towns of Bathurst, Rockley, Burraga, Perthville, Trunkey Creek, Blayney, Oberon, Wattle Flat, Sofala, Wallerawang and surrounding areas.

ALO provides three programs:

• Disability – services to support people with a disability. They are a registered NDIS Provider.
• Aged Care – services to support people to stay in their own home. They are an Aged Care Provider.
• Carer Support - provides the carer with a time out or a break. It is short term, planned, flexible and time limited, and aims to meet the individual needs.

Accessible Living Options host an annual Sports Gala Day supported by Family First Credit Union. The 6th Annual Gala day was held at Bathurst Sports Ground and participants came from disability services from across the region. The day included running races, wheelchair races, a giant soccer game, a softball game and then singing and dancing to complete the day. The day was one of much happiness and laughter and a great celebration of abilities. Bathurst Mayor Graeme Hanger presented ribbons to the very proud participants at the end of the day. Thanks to the Bathurst Lions Club for cooking the very popular sausage sizzle.
