Daycare

For many older people, taking an advantage of a day care service offers an ideal compromise between home care and full time residential care. All CLS care homes offer day care, providing:

Regular interaction
• The chance to meet new people and be part of a community
• Access to a wide range of activities, including old favourites such as bingo and the opportunity to develop new hobbies such as arts and crafts, computer skills and gentle exercise classes
• Good company and the opportunity to go on outings with like-minded people

Good personal care
• Tasty, wholesome meals (without the trouble of preparing them yourself)
• Assistance with bathing if desired or needed
• A way of giving your usual carers a break, in the confidence that you are in good hands and being well looked after

Trial without commitment
• Flexibility in terms of the number of days you use the service
• Access to all the same shared facilities as permanent residents but without the overnight stays
• A way of experiencing life in a residential home so that you can make an informed decision if your needs change in the future

You can find out more about day care by enquiring at the home you are interested in.
