What happens at our Day Services?

​​Activities range from keeping minds active with games and quizzes, getting creative with crafts and art, staying active with exercise classes and games, enjoying music with interactive live musical sessions, and getting out and about with trips all over Edinburgh.

 

We start off the day with a cup of tea and a biscuit and a blether, have a hot lunch and finish the day with more refreshments.​​​

​

How do our Day Services work?

If you live locally to our Day Services we will pick you up by minibus between 9.00am and 10.30am and drop you home between 3pm and 4.30pm. If you’re outside the area or want to travel independently you can of course make your own way to join us.


All of our Day Services are registered with the Care Inspectorate. Our experienced support workers are friendly and welcoming. Each member has an individualised support plan and key worker. We have a high staff to client ratio, so we can ensure that all our members get the care and support they need throughout the day.

Subsidised places and Self-Directed Support places are available to anyone aged 65 and over.
