When older people are living on their own at home, they still want the opportunity to hold a conversation and get involved in different activities. Our day care services provide a safe, comfortable and enjoyable environment to do just that. What’s more, our friendly and well-trained members of staff are able to cater for people who are coping with dementia. It’s fine to visit on a one-off basis or more regularly.

For anyone considering short-term or long-term residential care in the future, it’s a great opportunity to get to know the home.

Programmes of activity vary, but can include arts and crafts, quizzes, cookery, discussion groups, outings and talks from local organisations. Visitors are also able to access our in-house services, such as hairdressing, manicures, aromatherapy and, in some cases, optician’s checks and chiropody.

There’s always a choice of attractive and nutritious meals on offer and we’re able to cater for special diets.

We welcome families completing the Day Care Plan with their relative in the comfort of their own homes. You can print a care plan here, fill it in as much as you can and bring it with you on the day of admission.
