Enjoy your day with us, join in group activities
Open Monday to Friday
The day at our centre normally runs from 10am to 3pm. The cost includes tea, coffee and refreshments and a freshly prepared two-course lunch.
Our managers and their team organise a range of activities during the day including exercise, crafts, reminiscence groups, games, bingo and quizzes. Throughout the year we also arrange occasional outings and visits from local entertainers.
Our trained staff offer a warm welcome, a listening ear and care appropriate to your needs. With our support people keep their independence and remain active for longer, continuing to feel a valued member of their community and able to make the most of life.
The centres are a safe and enjoyable way for older people to meet new friends and take part in activities that suit them. We provide a purposely calm environment for people who may have complex needs, including physical impairment or dementia.

Personal care
The amount we charge will depend on an assessment of a person's needs. All our day centres have trained staff who are able to help clients use the toilet.
The William and Patricia Venton Centre in Northampton now has facilities where clients can have a shower or bath. We are grateful to everyone who has contributed towards the cost of refurbishing the bathroom. Please contact us to book a session.
Toenail cutting
We are now able to provide this service for £24.40 at The William and Patricia Venton Centre. Please call 01604 210585 to arrange an appointment.
Method of payment
Direct debit is our preferred method of payment as it allows us to collect payment for services from you on a regular basis. It also avoids the risk of cheques getting lost in the post, payments being incorrectly allocated and delays in receiving your payment.
Some clients do choose to pay by cheque, either in person on the day or by post. We will help you set up the method of payment that is most appropriate for your circumstances.

Bathing facilities at the day centre
Our fully-equipped bathroom at The William and Patricia Venton Centre has everything you need to stay safe. Our trained staff will help you use the bathing seat and other equipment if necessary, ensuring a relaxing and comfortable experience.
Care Support at Home might suit you better?
Some of our clients do not feel ready to attend a day centre but would benefit from a bit of company or need support to help them stay safe at home. A regular visit from our friendly staff can have a hugely positive effect on an older person's wellbeing. Please call us to discuss what would suit you or your family member. We are flexible and try to provide the service that fits your needs.
