Is someone you care for struggling?
Our Day Care Centre offers older people, including those living with dementia, a safe and welcoming space to socialise, enjoy activities, and a hot, home-cooked meal, and peace of mind for those who care for them.
Looking for a fun, engaging way to support someone with dementia?
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy offers a positive opportunity to focus on abilities, rather than challenges. Each session we run includes number games, word puzzles, reminiscence activities, and, most importantly, lots of laughter.
If you’re a carer looking for a meaningful, enjoyable activity for the person you care for, then find out more.
