How Kilkivan seniors are ageing in place


How the Kilkivan & District Community Care Association Inc (KDCC) is helping older residents to age in place.

Ageing in place presents unique challenges for rural communities like Kilkivan – a critical issue recently highlighted in coverage by both ABC Wide Bay and ABC Sunshine Coast.

Through a dedicated seniors’ social hub, community transport, and assistance with support-at-home services, the volunteers of the Kilkivan & District Community Care Association Inc (KDCC) are helping older residents remain in the community they call home. While these services provide vital day-to-day assistance, the organisation’s most pressing challenge lies ahead: securing the necessary funding to build essential accommodation.
