Are you an older person living in the Rural City of Murray Bridge Council area?

Are some household tasks becoming a challenge to complete?

Would help with some home maintenance be useful?

Do you require home modification such as installation of grab railing or a ramp?

Then the Council may be able to help!

The Community Care program at the Rural City of Murray Bridge receives part funding from the Department of

Social Service to assist residents to remain in their own homes by providing low level support to aged residents

and their carers.

Domestic Assistance, transport, home maintenance, home modifications, respite and monthly social programs.

If you think we can help then give Debbie or Gary a call!

Meredith was born and raised in the Murray

Mallee region and spent most of her career

working as a registered nurse. When a friend

challenged her to write a book she accepted and after

being rejected once she began to study and successfully

completed an advanced diploma of Arts - Professional

Writing with the Adelaide Centre for arts, she

graduated in 2009.

As she spent most of her life living and working in the

country, Meredith’s interest with small town

communities and the challenges of providing health

care services is reflected in her debut novel

The Country Practice.
