Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays
The Weekend Day Care Scheme aims to provide flexible care for dementia sufferers and support for their carers at weekends and on Wednesday evenings. The Weekend Day Care Scheme is a part of VSA.
There are trained staff at the centre and several volunteers who have a wide range of skills and experience.
Weekend Day Scheme
Individual care programmes are devised to provide stimulation and social activities for those attending while allowing their carers a break. Each member of the club is provided with activities which are enjoyable and therapeutic. Every week there are trips to places of local interest. On fine days those who are able go for accompanied walks. On days spent indoors there is a variety of activities including crafts, baking, indoor games and social activities.
Wednesday Evening Club
The Wednesday Evening Club provides an opportunity for people attending Weekend Day Care and their carers to have a social evening out together.
