Day Centres for Older People

The council offers day services to older people in seven day centres across the borough.  Each of the centres provides a safe and friendly environment.

Trained staff in all centres aim to deliver services in a 'person-centred' way, designed to promote the health and well-being of people in their care (service users).  Staff do this by devising an individual support plan, using information obtained from the service user, their carer(s) and from their social work assessment. 

A support plan could consist of some of the following elements:

  • Emotional support
  • Mental stimulation
  • Physical stimulation
  • Social interaction
  • Special dietary requirements
  • Transport arrangements
  • Personal Care support

Our Mission Statement

  • We will provide a quality day service for vulnerable older people by promoting a healthy and fulfilled lifestyle. 
  • We will enable and empower each individual to exercise their rights to inclusion, independence and choice.
  • The day centre is equipped to provide healthy, nutritious meals of a high standard at a small cost.
