Day Care Centres provide an opportunity for elderly people to socialise and often enjoy stimulating activities and a home-cooked meal.
They can also be beneficial to carers by providing a short respite from your caring duties in full confidence that your loved ones are being taken care of in a safe environment.
These can be a great stepping stone between living independently and full time residential care. Some centres will even have the provision of personal care services such as toenail clipping and hairdressing, meaning one less thing to worry about at home.
Below, you will find a guide to Surrey’s Day Care Centres, which includes opening times and prices where possible, as well as whether they provide transport to and from the venue. We recommend you ring up in advance to ensure they are running as normal. Day Care Centres will often provide a free tour or trial visit.
