Older people Day Centres
Our Older People Day Centres offer specialist, person-centred support, and a range of tailored activities which are focused on maintaining independence, engaging with the local community and social interaction.

Whether you require some respite with a short break from your caring duties, or your loved one requires 1:1 support, together we can build a support plan to meet your needs.
How we can support you
We support customers who have additional needs that come as a result of decreased mobility, or who are living with conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Dementia and Parkinson’s.
Our network of Day Centres provide a flexible programme of both on-site and community-based activities we aim to support you to maintain choice, control and independence.
We can provide the following:
- Specialist support for people living with a range of conditions, including Dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
- Access to our highly qualified in-house clinical team.
- Opportunities to join local community groups, activities, and initiatives.
- Private transport.
- Flexible hours to suit you.
- Guidance and support to continue with everyday activities, enabling your loved one to stay at home longer.
- Interactive activities, using innovative technology and sensory equipment.
- Gold Standard Dementia Environment Accredited.
Support at home
Many of our customers enjoy the social interaction of meeting at our centres or in the community, but where that isn’t practical, we can also offer support in your home. We can help with activities such as shopping or health appointments, or just provide companionship whilst a carer takes some well earned respite.
Pricing
Prices will depend on the length your session(s) and the level of support needed. As an example a full day with one of our services would typically start at around £62.
