Place & Space Day Opportunities

Place & Space is open for Day Opportunities and Day Respite Care. Place & Space provides specialist day opportunities in the community for older adults, and people living with dementia. We aim to enhance wellbeing and promote positive experiences for people living with dementia, as well as providing respite for their loved ones. Place & Space is also available for individuals who may be on our waiting list for care, offering familiarisation with our home, staff, and routines, alongside the benefits of social interaction, structured activities, and continued engagement while awaiting future care needs.

Place & Space Day Opportunities provides a place where people living with dementia can feel at home in a safe and stimulating environment. We offer a person-centred service which provides activities and cognitive stimulation, as well as respite for carers. We are open Monday-Thursday, from 10am until 3pm. A range of activities includes music, games, crafts, group discussion and reminiscence, and cognitive stimulation. Unlimited tea, coffee & biscuits is available, and attendees can also have a 2 course homecooked lunch provided by our on-site kitchen team.

For a standard 5 hour day, this costs £50 per day, and a 2 course lunch can be included for an additional £6.

  • For a standard session (10am to 3pm) – cost £50
  • For a half session (10am to 1:30pm) – cost £40
  • Lunch can be provided – £6 for 2 courses and £9 for 3 courses.

Anyone can refer someone to Place & Space Day Opportunities, and the process is very simple. You can either e-mail [email protected], or call 01573 224886.

Once you have requested a space at Place & Space, you will be contacted by a member of our team who will go through a few questions before organising an initial assessment.

Our service is open 4 days per week (Monday-Thursday), and attendees can choose to attend all days, once per week, or anything in between!
