What the service does
Day care services support vulnerable older people to stay in their community and live as full a life as possible. We work with older people who have:
- physical disabilities
- sensory impairment
- mental ill health
- early stage dementia
We help these vulnerable older people improve their:
- social skills
- life skills
- lifestyle
- daily activities
We also help older people who are going through rehabilitation.
Day care services are provided at a number of day centres across Belfast. Day centres offer:
- support for service users and carers
- meaningful activities
- personal care
Some of our day centres also offer:
- carers’ groups
- access to therapists
How to access the service
We accept referrals from:
- social workers
- community psychiatric nurses
- care managers
- integrated care teams
When we receive a referral, we will arrange for the older person to visit the day centre. The older person is usually accompanied by a family member, carer and/or the person who made the referral. If necessary, we will provide transport to and from the day centre.
