Age UK Tunbridge WellsDay Care Services

What does it do?Currently we provide Day Care Services from two venues both open Monday to Friday 9.30pm to 4pm (serving Tunbridge Wells town, Southborough & High Brooms, Speldhurst, Paddock Wood, Matfield, Brenchley, Horsmonden, Five Oak Green, Pembury, Rusthall, Langton Green and surrounding areas and villages).

The service offers a comfortable, safe and stimulating environment for older people to enjoy the day. Refreshments are served all day including breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea; with fully trained staff on hand to assist with personal care needs and good disabled facilities, giving access to social integration, assisted bathing and personal care, chiropody & podiatry, exercise sessions, art and craft sessions, beautician and reflexology.

Services vary slightly at different venues, therefore we do a full assessment of the individual's needs and preferences to ensure they get the most of of the service.

The service can offer the opportunity for even the most frail or vulnerable person to enjoy socialising confidently and offering respite to carers and families. We work closely with other care providers, Kent Adult Social Services and medical professionals to deliver our service as part of a wider package of care and the service can offer a real alternative to those who are otherwise socially isolated or housebound. We are able to offer specialist transport to and from the Centres or help organise this.
