Care & services

Company, activities and a warm lunch, then home again

Our weekday day care brings company, gentle activities and a home-cooked meal, with optional nursing and personal care, before your loved one heads home in the afternoon.

A day with us

Good company, a change of scene

A chance to enjoy company and a change of scene during the day, then return to the comfort of their own home in the afternoon. It is good for the spirit, and gives a family carer some welcome hours to themselves.

Who this suits

A good fit when…

  • A change of scene by day

    For an older person who lives at home but would love good company, gentle activity and a warm meal during the day, then their own bed at night.

  • A break for a daytime carer

    Some welcome hours to yourself, knowing your loved one is enjoying the company of others in a warm, familiar place.

  • A comfortable first step

    For some families, day care is a gentle way to grow familiar with The Willows before any thought of respite or a permanent place.
