Providing a friendly, caring environment

The aim of the day care service is to provide a friendly, caring and supportive environment. Regular activities are carried out following a weekly timetable, including reminiscence, physical, solo, mental stimulation, therapeutic and interest activities to stimulate, motivate and provide interaction.

Support is provided with personal and social care. We have a variety of rooms within the Blanning Day Centre for arts, crafts, games, dining and relaxation. 

This includes a memory room containing old photos and memorabilia, which are designed to help people to recall their past in an interesting and motivating way.

We promote independence, choice and wellbeing, recognising individual needs through regular assessments. Day care provides social contact in a safe environment for our clients, and gives carers and relatives much needed, reliable respite opportunities.
