Services
Daycare
The Alzheimer’s Society provides daycare on the following days:
- Wednesday – 49 Breinton Road, Hereford
- Thursday – Harling Court, Ledbury
The day begins at 10.30 am finishing at 3.00 pm. Transport can be provided. A hot luncheon is served at both centres and also coffee & tea. The day provides a break for carers and an opportunity for those attending to relax and socialise.
The service is managed by our Daycare Manager and both centres are run by experienced trained staff who with the help of volunteers aim to provide a high quality service. Those attending will have the opportunity to enjoy a social day out and take part if they wish in activities of their choice.
The needs of each person attending is assessed and an individual care plan is completed.
Referrals must be made through your G.P., CPN, Social Services or self referrals provided there is a diagnosis of dementia.
