Services in Coventry

Services offered

• Coventry - Barras Court Day Centre Daycare Service
  A purpose built daycare centre providing 48 places per week for older people (over 65). This is a citywide service. The centre has its own transport, a minibus and a car to collect the members. The centre provides a homely but stimulating environment to promote socialisation and activity whilst providing valuable respite for carers. A two course hot meal, with a choice, is provided at lunchtime as well as drinks and snacks throughout the day. We have a recently refurbished dementia friendly garden.
• Coventry - Barras Court daycentre for younger people with dementia
  This service offers 8 places on one day per week for younger people with dementia. It has a high staff ratio of 1:3 which enables us to do more intensive work with the members. It offers everything that the older people's daycare offers but differs in that the service is geared to a younger age group with different types of activities, music etc.
