Support
We support adults by providing age appropriate activities to their health and well-being in a positive and uplifting environment. Our emphasis is on meeting the needs of the individual and treating them with dignity and respect. Our activities reflect our service users and we are always looking to evolve for our service users needs. All our staff have taken specialist dementia training. We have many resources for in depth reminiscence activities. We also have staff with passion for aiding service users with arts and crafts, gardening and cooking.
Our range of groups are designed to meet individual needs, with bespoke and person centred activities provided in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Transport, provided by Community Transport for Town and County, may be available as part of the day care service. Please contact Chesterfield Care Group for details.
