Description

Fronditha Care aims to enhance the well-being of elderly people by promoting excellence in care and support, and ensuring that their social and individual needs are met in a way, which is consistent with their cultural, linguistic and historical needs.

Fronditha Care Inc. - formerly called the Australian Greek Society for Care of the Elderly - is a charitable, community based organization providing services to Australian elders of Greek speaking background. Fronditha has been in existence since 1976 and enjoys broad support from the Greek Community. To date it is the only organization providing a range of residential and support services to the Greek speaking elderly in Victoria.

Fronditha exists because it believes that maintaining cultural identity is critical to the well being of all persons.

Services provided by Fronditha aim to ensure that Greek speaking elderly are able to live in a residential facility or remain at home and be supported by an agency which shares their language, history, religious values, attitudes, rituals, celebrations, music and food. In essence, all the elements that have, and continue to play a central role in their lives.
