SERVICE DETAILS
QCCC provides day opportunities for older people who have additional support needs, including those with a diagnosis of dementia, stroke or other long-term health conditions.
Day Opportunities...
Day opportunities can include a home visit, outing within the community or Centre-based service. All activities are agreed with our members initially through their individual support plans, and then on an ongoing basis.
Day opportunities are available to anyone over the age of 65 on a continuous basis.

QCCC promotes a person centred approach to delivering services with people being offered a wide range of activities and support both at the centre and at home that are designed to meet the individual's needs. Day opportunities operate Monday to Friday from our office at The Haven, 25B Burgess Road, South Queensferry.
