About the service

Our service is provided in an environment which is both flexible and informal.

We also provide a two course hot meal at our Urmston Centre.

We provide our day support for people living with dementia on a local basis, in accessible community based buildings - where we concentrate on high quality support for the service user and a respite break for carers.

We have provided day support in Trafford for over 25 years. Our care staff are all NVQ Level 2 or 3 and all have QCF level 2 in Dementia. We have a Safeguarding and a Moving and Handling trainer. Staff have update training throughout the year.

We offer different forms of activities to promote mental and physical stimulation and well being.

These activities take place indoors and out and range from puzzles, quizzes, indoor bowls, short golf, darts and board games, to different forms of reminiscence, gardening, hand massages, manicures and armchair aerobics, simple cookery and life skills. We have a "pop up" summer garden at our Urmston Centre.
