Our experienced staff are trained in working with people who have dementia and delivering quality care that aims to maintain an individual’s independence.
Transportation can be arranged to and from the Day Centre. Taxis collect clients from their homes at 9:45am and return them between 3:30pm and 4:00pm.
To access the Day Centre program, referrals are accepted from any source, including the client, their carer, General Practitioner, or other health service providers. If preferred, referrals may be directed to us using the Service Coordination Tool Template (SCTT).
On acceptance of a referral the Day Centre Coordinator will meet with clients and their carer to assess their needs and suitability to the program. Attendance to the day centre will attract a small fee to contribute to the cost of activities.
