Day Care

What is day care?
We offer different types of day care for adults, depending on what each person needs. Most of the daytime activities and care we offer is based around our day centres but we try and take people out into the community as much as possible, to build up their confidence and independence. This might mean taking them to a local college so they can take part in computer classes, or supporting them to go to the library or a hairdresser.

Different types of day care
The different types of day care we offer are listed on the right under 'more pages'. Click on each one to find out more about the service, including who qualifies for it and whether there is a charge. All our day care provides food and drink and daytime activities. Some also provide personal care or transport.

Time offDay care often gives people looking after someone with care needs, the chance to have a break and some time for themslves. It also gives the person receiving the care, some time away from their home surroundings.

TransportIf you qualify for day care, we can also carry out an assessment to see if you need transport to get there and back. Or you can make your own way there.

If the assessment shows that you do need tranpsort, we will find a vehicle which meets your needs, whether this is a minibus operated by the city council or a vehicle driven by one of our volunteer drivers. The charge for day care with transport at the moment, is £3.00.
