At Croft House we are registered for two day care places per day. A day care place allows an individual to come to Croft House for the day and enjoy full use of all our facilities.
Being elderly can often be very lonely. By visiting our home on day care, guests get the opportunity to interact with a host of new faces, other residents, staff and visitors.
Day care residents can arrive as early as 7am and leave as late as 9pm. During that time all meals and drinks are included in the fee, as well as all entertainment that takes place in our home.
Guests can also enjoy a bath or a shower with full help provided by our professional and friendly staff. Guests can also use the services of all our visiting professionals such as our chiropodist, optician, district nurses, hairdresser and holistic therapist.
Day care can be of real value to families where they have the responsibility of looking after an elderly relative at home. Too often the carer at home is trying to juggle work and other personal commitments whilst caring for their relative. This can be physically and emotionally tiring, even help with bathing or showering can help ease some of these pressures, particularly if their elderly relative has mobility or mental frailty issues.
Funding can often be obtained from Social Services to help cover the costs of day care. Everyone is entitled to an assessment to see if funding can be obtained but ultimately the decision on funding is means tested.
