Day time care, activities & friendship in local community venues.
Day Clubs provide a safe source of day time support and care for a loved one, who otherwise may need to consider more costly options such as residential care. The costs for residential care are significantly higher than a Day Club which offers good value, especially when compared with other more intensive forms of care.
Joining allows you to enjoy...
• Fun activities and the opportunity to learn new hobbies
• Engaging in interests of your choice
• A delicious and nutritious hot lunch and refreshments
• Meeting new friends
• A warm and welcoming 'home from home' environment
• Regaining a sense of purpose and self
• Day trips and outings
Carers will benefit from...
• Knowing your loved one is safe and well looked after
• Enjoying respite and time for yourself
• Having a support network and someone to talk to
• Easy access to a whole range of continued support
• Giving your loved one some independence and the opportunity to engage in purposeful activity
• Knowing individual needs are met with personalised care and support
Health professionals can...
• Be confident that we are a trusted, experienced CQC registered supplier
• Benefit from a fast and responsive referral process
• Be confident we will meet the needs of your clients
