Get in touch Why Day Care may be right for you
As we get older, we can suffer from decreased mobility, social isolation, and loneliness. If you’ve recently noticed a marked difference in Mum or Dad’s demeanour and general health, day care services could be a great option.
Beyond the practicality of home care support, day care can provide companionship from a trusted care professional who can help build a more engaged and active lifestyle.
At Home Instead, we can also provide day care for people living with dementia, Parkinson’s, cancer, and more. Our careful care pro and client matching will help you transform Mum and Dad’s outlook and wellness.

Tailored Day Care in Watford
Every single Watford Home Instead client gets a tailored day care plan. That starts with the services you receive and the care team we put in place. And we do this because every one of you is unique. You have a unique family situation, unique hobbies and interests, and a unique set of health challenges, whether that’s high cholesterol or something else.
For example, our client Harvey requires a ‘cooking call’ once a day, where we help prepare and cook fresh Kosher meals as per Harvey’s religion. A different client may benefit from a more ‘social’ call with fun craft activities that get them moving and thinking. Another may need help managing their day-to-day while their family are at work.
Whatever your needs, we can make that happen.

Get in touch Trusted Day Care from experienced home care professionals in Watford
We’ve actively provided adult day care services in Watford for over 13 years. In that time, we have built a solid reputation as a trusted provider who works closely with clients and their families.
Our Care Professionals are selected for their deep empathy and willingness to support the people they care for, often resulting from their experience as primary carers. We top that up with award-winning training.
We choose your carer based on a fit to Mum or Dad’s needs because we understand that this relationship matters.
“Hollie is a super special carer. Intelligent, loads of common sense, has good empathy so knows when to chat and when not, never gives the impression of rush and always has a good sense of humour.” – J. Zanelli.

Additional support and activities in Watford
As a people-first home care provider, we have created essential links to other senior services, including dementia cafés, educational talks, and seasonal festivities. Additionally, we host our own social events like meet-ups, Christmas celebrations, and sing-alongs. Offering this to you, as our client, is our way of extending the care and social options available to Mum and Dad.
We also partner with local charities such as AGE UK Surrey, Dementia UK, and Parkinson’s Support UK.

FAQs
- What are the benefits of day care for the elderly care?
Elderly day care has two tangible benefits:
- Assistance with household chores or personal care, which can become more challenging as we age
- Social interaction and environmental engagement.
Both of these are crucial for a sense of self, whether that’s how we feel about ourselves, how we feel about the world around us or how we feel others think of us.
We take that very seriously here at Home Instead. We want every senior to feel seen, heard and respected.
- Is Home Instead day care just for seniors? Can day care help those with disabilities?
We provide day care to any adult in Watford who needs short-term or long-term support, regardless of age. We also fully support those with impairments and disabilities.
Most of our literature is based on ‘senior’ care because that is usually our larger demographic.
- How much does day care cost? And is it free on the NHS?
Daycare can be eligible for funding from the local council or NHS continuing healthcare (CHC). However, because social care is underfunded and under-resourced, full or partial services may not always be available. To find out more, we suggest contacting your local authorities for advice.
Home instead provides private day carers (which can be partly paid by local authority payments). You do not need a GP or hospital referral to work with us. All you need to do is call us on 01923 250513.
Costs do vary depending on the services you need and the time you require us to cover. However, a few hours of companionship every few weeks can start at £150 to give you a guide. Call us, and our team will help you work everything out.
- How quickly can you get someone into day care?
At Home Instead, we can have day care services in place within a few days of a home visit in most instances.
