New Dementia-Friendly Day Support Centre Opens in Romsey
Discover Home Instead Salisbury and Romsey’s dementia-friendly Day Support Centre in Romsey, with half-day and full-day support on Mondays and Fridays.
Families in Romsey now have another local option for daytime support, companionship and meaningful activity, following the opening of a new Home Instead Day Support Centre.
Run by Home Instead Salisbury and Romsey, the centre is currently open on Mondays and Fridays and welcomes people for either a half-day or full-day visit, with lunch included.
The service is dementia-friendly and provides a welcoming environment where guests can spend time with others, take part in activities and receive appropriate support throughout the day.
What does day support offer?
Day support can be helpful for people who would benefit from more social interaction, structured activity or time outside the home. For someone living with dementia, regular routines and familiar surroundings can be particularly important. Spending time in a supportive setting can help encourage confidence, independence and social connection, while activities provide opportunities for mental and physical stimulation.
Day support can also help reduce isolation. For people who spend much of their week at home, having somewhere familiar to visit and people they know can become an enjoyable part of their routine.
For family carers, it can also provide valuable time for work, appointments, errands or rest, with the reassurance that their loved one is being supported in a safe and welcoming environment.
A purpose-built centre in Romsey
The premises were originally designed specifically for day support services, and Home Instead is pleased to be bringing the facilities back into use for the local community.
A small number of regular guests are already attending, and the team is looking forward to welcoming more people over the coming months.
The centre currently operates on Mondays and Fridays, with the possibility of introducing additional days in future as demand grows.
Half-day and full-day support
Families can choose between half-day and full-day attendance, with lunch included in both options. This gives families flexibility to select the level of support that best suits their needs, whether someone would benefit from a few hours of companionship and activity or a longer day of support.
Before attending, families can speak with the Home Instead Salisbury and Romsey team about individual needs and whether the service is the right fit.
Supporting people living with dementia in Romsey
Dementia can affect people in different ways, and support needs often change over time. For some families, combining support at home with local community services can help create a routine that works for both the person living with dementia and those supporting them.
A dementia-friendly Day Support Centre can complement home care by offering additional opportunities for companionship, activity and social interaction, while helping people remain connected to their community.
