Our Approach To Your Care

Activities at our Day Centre are focused on maintaining independence and improving wellbeing.

We provide the opportunity to take part in a wide range of enjoyable and stimulating social activities; both onsite and out amongst the local community. We recognise that carers need support too.

Our services are tailored to the needs of carers as well as our customers because we know that time away from each other is important.

Our highly skilled staff create a warm, happy and positive atmosphere and are specialists in supporting older people with learning disabilities, sensory impairments, Dementia and Alzheimer's.

Pricing
