Day centres offer older people a range of activities, social and leisure time helping them to continue to live in their own home or with their family or carer.

We offer practical and therapeutic support and the opportunity for you to:
enjoy the variety of activities and entertainment provided;
develop and practice your skills;
find out about the things you can and cannot manage; and
get access to a variety of health and care services.
