Day Centre for older people with physical health problems or who are frail or vulnerable or need support to remain living in the community.  This service is only available to residents of Lambeth after having an assessment of their needs through Lambeth Adults and Community Services (020 7926 5555).

Day care can provide an opportunity for company, educational, occupational and leisure activities, outings and a meal.

Services offered in day centres:- Day care centres provide a range of physical, social activities and services to help people maintain or regain their independence, including gentle exercise, learning or relearning social and leisure skills, health promotion, quizzes, crafts, daytrips, advice and support. There is no charge for the day care service. Free transport to the centre is provided for service users. Day centres usually provide catering facilities or set meals for which there will be a charge. The centres cannot deal with existing conditions requiring serious medical attention, as staff based at the centres cannot cater for these requirements.
