The Ballyphehane  Day Centre is run by the Health Services Executive – South.  This facility is a very important support to the older person who is still able to live at home but needs to have a link to available services in the community.

Day care allows them to retain their independence without feeling isolated and gives them the opportunity to meet up with others in a similar situation for social activities and interaction.

The main objectives of the day centre are:

• To provide a service such as a mid-day meal, a bath, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, chiropody, laundry, and hairdressing
• To promote social contact among the elderly and prevent loneliness.
• To relieve caring relatives, particularly those who have to go to work, of the responsibility of caring for elderly persons during the day.
• To provide social stimulation in a safe environment for elderly people with mild forms of dementia.
