The new day club will provide a new and innovative day service for older people which aims to maintain independence and wellbeing through a range of activities, events and services based around the preferences of its users. The staff also hope that this new club will become a central point for the local older community and their families to access the much needed advice and support when dealing with the challenges of older age and dementia.

It’s bright and clean and you can see all of the people that are with you. All the areas look great; I enjoy being here and doing things with others.” [[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"2102","attributes":{"class":"media-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-7828","typeof":"foaf:Image","style":"","width":"550","height":"366","title":"QC7-001","alt":""}}]] The new Q Club was officially opened by Pam Clark who has been attending the Home’s original day centre since 1998.
