Day Care Service
Our Health & Well-Being day care service provides a stimulating environment with particular regard to, but not exclusively, the needs of our African Caribbean older people.
How it works
Once we receive a referral, we pass the details on to Sandwell Enquiry. A Social Worker or Support Planner will carry out the necessary assessment. If the person meets Adult Service's criteria, they will receive a Direct Payment or Personal Budget that will pay for our service. If you do not meet Adult Services criteria, you can purchase our service privately.
If you live in West Bromwich, Oldbury or Smethwick we can provide transport to and from our Centre.
Who is it for?
The service is for people who are aged 55+, isolated in their homes and who would benefit from social contact and befriending.
