Some day care services are managed by the council and others by voluntary organisations.
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.

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, day trips, advice and support.
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
