Lifehouse awareness sessions.
Do you or your organisation give advice to older or disabled people on services or equipment?
If the answer is "yes" why not arrange for your team to visit Lifehouse to learn about the services we provide so you can give your enquirers up to date and accurate information.
Awareness sessions take approximately one and half hours and include information on the services based in Lifehouse and a tour of Liverpool Disabled Living Centre.
Age Concern Liverpool was the first agency to attend a Lifehouse Awareness Session - this is what they thought:
- "Staff and volunteers who attended found the visit informative, useful and enjoyable. It increased our knowledge of what is available and has equipped us to provide quality information and encourage older people, who are able, to visit Lifehouse."
- "The visit was very informative. It's provided me with a greater understanding of the aids and adaptations that are available for elderly and disabled people. The demonstrations were very useful with expert, friendly advice."
- "I found it very fulfilling and the information was useful to me personally. I received advice on aids to help me in the home and I saw an item I will be purchasing"
- "There was a diverse range of resources available"
- "It was a worthwhile visit"
- "It opens your mind to what is available"
- Maria Vaccarello, HABIT, Information & Advice Manager, Age Concern Liverpool says,
"I would recommend anyone who works with older people to visit Lifehouse and if possible attend an awareness session."
To arrange a visit for your team call the centre on 0151 296 7742.
