What happens in Day Care?

The day is structured around therapeutic treatments and social activities. Our service includes:

-continuous assessment of your needs to help you remain as independent as possible in coping with your illness

-practical advice and information for you and your family

-an opportunity to meet others in similar circumstances

 -giving free time to your family carers to do something for themselves

 -opportunities to participate in various activities including creative crafts, gentle exercises, and visiting entertainment

 -access to our hospice services, including the Social Work Team, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Psychology Services and spiritual care

 -a chance to receive complementary therapy, a manicure or a hair cut

Our service is co-coordinated by the Day Care Manager, Mandy Malcomson with support from experienced nurses, creative art workers, secretarial support and hospice volunteers.
