Our dementia Day Care Service supports people who are living with dementia.
Our qualified Day Care staff and highly trained volunteers look after many people who are living with dementia.
Our person-centred service helps reduce social isolation and stigma of the person living with dementia while providing respite for carers.
This chance of vital respite helps promote independent living and has the ability to sustain families in their community for longer.
Each week, we welcome up to 70 clients, with 3,500 places available every year.
During their day, clients enjoy art classes, iPad sessions, appropriate fitness and reminiscence activities, music, dance and tasty, nutritious, homemade lunch prepared by our chef and associate nutritionist.
These group activities foster friendships, as well as keeping clients’ minds and bodies active.
The aim of the service is to support people to remain in their own homes for as long as possible by:
- Promoting independence
- Reducing social isolation
- Helping to provide a structure to their week
- Providing regular respite for carers and enabling them to carry out their role for longer
Referrals are received through Social Care Direct, please call 0131 200-2324.
We can do I.T. too
- Everyone using our service can has the opportunity to learn how to use iPads and grow more confident with technology.
- iPads be used to aid access to important services such as email and Skype, as well as part of activities such as activities such as, art, music, languages and word games
- Involvement in a group gives structure to a day or a week and is a valuable opportunity to interact with each other and can be an important avenue for sharing information.
- Reminiscence is an established technique which involves the discussion of past activities events and experiences. Objects, photographs and music are often used to encourage people with dementia to talk about their past.
Multi Sensory Room
- Our new and exciting project was funded by HSBC Bank, work is due to begin soon
- Multi-Sensory therapy is relatively a new activity which gives clients an experience of a range of patterned visual, auditory, olfactory and tactile stimuli
- Multi-Sensory environments optimise the effects of projected light and can have a very enjoyable, calming, relaxing and stimulating effect for people with dementia
- Its aim is to provide a non-directive, failure free, enabling, rapport building space. In which, there are no expectations for performance
- Other community groups are welcome to utilise this room please contact (Day Care Manager) Caroline Heenan Tel 0131 446 3303 or heenanc@ericliddell.org for further information
