Day care
Day care can provide an opportunity for company, educational, occupational and leisure activities, outings and a meal.
Some day care services are managed by the council and others by voluntary organisations.
How to apply to use day care
We may provide and arrange day care for residents who are frail and vulnerable or are in need of support to remain living in the community.
This service is only available to residents of Lambeth after having had an assessment of their needs.

Services offered in day centres
Day care centres provide a range of physical, social activities and services to help people maintain or regain their independence, including gentle exercise, learning or relearning social and leisure skills, health promotion, quizzes, crafts, daytrips, advice and support.
There is no charge for the day care service. Free transport to the centre is provided for service users. Day centres usually provide catering facilities or set meals for which there will be a charge.
The centres cannot deal with existing conditions requiring serious medical attention, as staff based at the centres cannot cater for these requirements. However, staff are trained in first aid and emergencies are referred to the ambulance service.
