  • Alzheimer Scotland

Description

There are 2 models of support available for people living with dementia; our Day Opportunities and Enhanced Day Care services specialise in supporting people with dementia through therapeutic activities aimed at preserving and enhancing memory and life skills so that you can stay independent for as long as possible and live well with dementia. You will enjoy social interaction, fun, laughter, and the opportunity to make friends.

  • Our Day Opportunities service provides support and activities for people who require minimal interventions with day-to-day tasks, are independently mobile and manage their own personal care.
  • Our Enhanced Day Care offers a higher level of support following an assessment of needs.
  • The expected outcomes for people attending The Bungalow are that they will engage with, participate in, and benefit from the service.

*Our Day Services are registered with the Care Inspectorate. It is necessary to complete a referral form if you are interested in attending. To discuss whether these services would benefit you, please contact Karen Fernie kfernie@alzscot.org or 0131 654 4356.
