Day care can help you to care

We specialise in the care of people who are physically and mentally frail


Age Concern Hampshire provides day care for older people at day centres throughout Hampshire.  We have 25 years experience and adopt up to date practices of care which meet quality standards.

Service users are older people limited by physical or mental frailty, who are assessed by Adult Services as needing day care and who meet their criteria for inclusion.  The need for carer respite is also recognised.

Our day care centres depend on dedicated volunteers as well as trained staff.   If you are interested in volunteering either contact the day care centre direct or see our volunteering pages.

A carer told us:

Mrs M told us: H looks forward all week to seeing everyone and I also enjoy my day off!

Mr P said Mrs P gets extremely excited the night before attending the day centre when he tells her it is day centre day tomorrow she loves attending and Mr P is relaxed knowing she is well cared for.

Mrs O told us: I’ve found it very emotional watching the morning evolve, I never realised all this was achievable.

Our service users tell us:

Mrs C told us; this is one of the rarest places on earth because we don’t get told what to do.

Mr P told us; I like joining in activities, seeing friends, it’s a lovely atmosphere.

Mr X told us; it is always laughter and smiles, good food and a noggin!
