The day club is open to all adults living with any condition, including dementia, regardless of whether they currently access Crossroads care services or not.

There will be a range of social activities each week, including quizzes, puzzles, card games and gentle exercise for those who can, with staff ensuring that everyone has an enjoyable and fulfilling time.

Booking - The cost of £45.00 per person includes activities, refreshments throughout the day, a hot lunch and care assistance.

To book your place, please complete a booking form. A booking form must be completed as we need details of medical conditions, medication and care requirements, as well as any dietary requirements. For a printed booking form, please call 0121 553 6483.
