Day Centre for the Elderly
For over 50 years we have operated a day centre for the Elderly. It provides an opportunity for older people who cannot get out of the house easily with a place to go, where they can talk with other people and take part in activities. Accessible transport is available to and from the centre. There is a 2 course Midday Meal and refreshments. A range of activities take place throughout the day.
Care staff are on hand to assist people. We like to discuss with the family before a person is offered a place to make sure that is suitable for their needs. We accept people with dementia.
We are Monday - Wednesday and Friday.
Many people are referred via other agencies and in some cases Birmingham City Council and other local authorities will help with the cost of attending.
The daily cost is £35.00 (as from 8th April 2024)
