The Saxon Day Centre runs day services for older adults living in the local community. They may be people who are socially isolated with no family to support them, individuals who have recently lost their partner and now feel lonely or people with a diagnosis of dementia who attend the centre in order to give their carer or partner a break.
We provide day care where people can attend for the day and join in a range of activities including quizzes, reminiscence, bingo, board and card games or just sit and have a chat. We also provide a Men's Shed and Ladies Lounge for people who are missing the comaraderie between colleagues which is detrimental for their health and well being. We also provide a sitting service in an individuals own home so that partners or carers can attend hospital appointments or go shopping without worrying about their loved one being left alone.
The support we offer to older people from the local community is fundamental to their mental health and offers them a home from home break where they can sit in a watm and comfortable environment, with other like minded people, have a cup of tea and put the world to rights. It's also about friendship, fun and getting out.
Our main priority is to the mental and physical well being of the individuals who attend the centre and their carers. Our emphasis is on having fund and providing a range of different activities with are entertaining and engaging. People who attend have a choice of what activities they participate in, or may choose to just sit and watch. We treat our clients with dignity and respect and as individuals who have the right to make decisions and choices for themselves.
All ourt staff are professional, qualified, competent and experienced of working in the a care environment. They are all fully trained and DBS checked. They create an environment which is friendly and fun and where people feel safe.
