SERVICE DETAILS
Located in Stockbridge, Dean Club supports people with poor mobility and those who have become socially isolated.
Located at the LifeCare centre in Stockbridge, the Dean club has been welcoming clients since the 1970s.
The club has a large room for group activities and a small room for quieter activities. Clients enjoy lunch in our lively community café.
The club runs on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays with 16 clients joining us each day meaning plenty of chances to socialise and make new friends. The club’s amazing team of 4 registered care workers ensure that members get the most out of their days and are supported with any care needs.
What happens at the clubs?
The clubs do all sorts of activities. From keeping minds active with games and quizzes, getting creative with crafts and art, staying active with exercise classes and games, enjoying music with interactive musical sessions and performances, and getting out and about with trips all over Edinburgh.
How does it work?
If you live locally to our club we will pick you up by minibus between 9:15am and 10:15am and drop you home between 3:00pm and 4:00pm. If you’re outside the area you can of course make your own way to join us at the club.
We start off the day with tea and toast, have a hot lunch and finish the day with tea and biscuits (or, if the weather demands it, an ice cream!)
All of our clubs are run by registered care workers and have a high staff to client ratio, so we can ensure that all our clients get the care and support they need throughout the day.
