What are Day Opportunities?
Day Opportunities help to people to live more independent lives where they can:
- make friends
- develop new skills
- and contribute positively to their communities
They are sometimes called Day Services.
Day opportunities are available for adults with an eligible social care need, or for people who want to pay for their own care. Services support people with:
- age related needs and frailty
- autism or Asperger's
- dementia and memory loss
- learning disabilities
- physical disabilities
- sensory loss
Each service helps to:
- enhance the quality of life for people with care and support needs
- delays and reduces the need for care and support
- ensures that people have a positive experience of care and support
- safeguards adults whose circumstances make them vulnerable and protects them from avoidable harm
