Telling everyone
about your day
on Mondays to Saturdays
between 8am and 4pm.
We’re sure you’ll have a great time at
St Joseph’s and will want to tell everyone
about it. As part of your visit we’ll keep a
personal diary for you of everything you’ve
done so you can share your experiences with
friends and family when you get home.
I look forward to hearing from you.
We’d love to chat with you about our
services over coffee, show you around
and answer any questions you have.

Specialist day care for
people with dementia
Sharing meals and snacks
with friends
We’re waiting to welcome you
Our small, friendly day centre welcomes older
people with dementia who are still living in their
own homes.
Our experienced team fully understands the
issues and challenges facing people with
dementia. We are able to offer professional
care as well as a varied day of engaging
activities and companionship in a safe,
stimulating environment.
Fun, friendly and fulfilling
While we have plenty of space for up to 16
guests, our group remains small enough for
everyone to get to know each other well.
Our staff encourage everyone to join in with our
fulfilling, enjoyable activities and we have great
links with local businesses and services when it
comes to organising outings and visits.
If our guests prefer a more relaxed, one-to-one
conversation then there is also a quiet room
where they can spend some time chatting with
our staff.
Eating well is important to maintaining good
health. Sharing a meal with friends, old and
new, can encourage and improve your appetite
and make the whole mealtime experience so
much more enjoyable.
A choice of home-cooked meals is available at
lunch time or you can choose a lighter
alternative if you prefer.
Time for hobbies old and new
We like to think we have something for
everyone and we really believe you’re never
too old to learn something new.
Our wide range of activities on offer include:
Arts and crafts
Quizzes
Sing-alongs
Dominoes
Outings
Chair exercises
Reminiscence discussions
“It’s been the best thing I could have done for
my mum, she loves it!”
A sandwich or cake with a hot drink is served
in the afternoon and hot and cold drinks are
freely available throughout the day.
We can cater for special diets, too; just let us
know what your needs are.
“It’s very good for J to have company and
activities. For me, I get time to myself and away
from caring for a while, which is a great help.”
Transport provided
There’s no need to worry about getting to and
from St Joseph’s as we have our own minibus
and can pick you up and drop you off.
