Day Care in Ilkeston

We provide day care across Ilkeston, Hucknall and Sandiacre, bringing engaging activities and companionship directly to your home. As a CQC regulated provider, we know that not everyone can get to a day centre, so we bring personalised day care to you. Our Care Professionals come from fascinating backgrounds – former teachers, retail managers, and other caring roles – but they all share a natural gift for making people feel at ease. Every visit lasts at least an hour, giving plenty of time to focus on activities you enjoy, whether that's crafts, music, games or simply good conversation.

Trusted, Personalised Home Care in Ilkeston

Day care at home means activities can be tailored exactly to what interests you. Our Care Professionals can help with rehabilitative exercises suggested by your physiotherapist, enjoy reminiscence activities that are particularly beneficial for people living with dementia, or take you out to explore local spots like Ilkeston Market Place. Many of our team can drive, making it easier to get out and about. The real benefit is having someone who gets to know your interests and can adapt activities to suit how you're feeling each day.
