Day Care at HighWray
What Is Day Care?
Day care gives people the chance to spend time at HighWray without becoming a full-time resident — joining in with the home's activities, company and meals for the day, then returning home afterwards.
It's a flexible option. Some families use it for a little extra support and social contact; others use it to give themselves a proper break, knowing their loved one is safe, occupied and well looked after in the meantime.
Because day care depends on us having space to accommodate you on the day, it isn't a fixed daily programme — it's best arranged by getting in touch directly to check what's available.
A Day at HighWray
- A warm welcome and the same standard of care as our full-time residents.
- A proper hot meal, freshly prepared.
- The chance to join in with whatever activities are happening that day — or simply relax in the lounge, whichever suits.
- Company, conversation, and time spent among familiar, friendly faces.
Is Day Care Right for You?
Day care can suit a range of situations, including:
Anyone who'd benefit from more company or structure during the day.
Family carers who need a few hours to themselves, run errands, or simply rest.
Someone considering HighWray for the future, wanting to experience the home first.
A gentle way to ease into home life before a respite or residential stay.
Checking Availability
Day care places depend on the space we have on any given day, so the best way to arrange a visit is to get in touch directly. We'll always do our best to accommodate you, and if we can't on a particular day, we'll help find a time that works.
