Website Handle With Care Seniors
Our Day Centre’s can be a lifeline to older people. They are invaluable, fun places where older people leave their troubles at the door and enjoy each others company over a hot meal. Some people come for the social aspect and activities, some come for a break from caring responsibilities at home, while others are dealing with relationship breakdowns or bereavement.
