Day care is a service for people still living in their own homes, but may benefit from visiting Gracelands during the day to allow them to have some help with daily activities, care or meal times. This can be a huge benefit for the person visiting but equally friends and relatives by providing a much needed break from care or providing reassurance that their loved one is having a hot meal.
Day services are for those are struggling with their needs during the day but are able to manage on an evening and overnight or have someone to support them at these times. Day Services can also be accessed to give an informal carer (family or friend) a break from their caring role.
​
Day care can allow people to socialise, stay active, get out of their on homes and get a change of scenery, whilst remaining as
independent as possible.
