PETERBOROUGH CITY COUNCIL'S OLDER PEOPLE'S DAY SERVICE (ADULTS)

What are day services for older people?

The Peterborough City Council’s day service offers a safe and friendly environment for older people who might be finding it difficult to get out and about, and need a bit of help and support.

Coming to the day service can help people to stay independent, keep well, and remain living in their own homes for as long as possible - offering a chance to enjoy some friendship while being well cared for. Attending the day service can also provide a much needed break for carers who live at home, and help to reduce and prevent falls.

The Peterborough day service is based at the Cresset, Bretton Centre. Door to door transport with carers is provided as standard. The day service opens 5 days a week Monday to Friday (except over Christmas and on Bank Holidays).

Day service buses usually pick up clients from home between 9.30am and 10.30am and drop clients off between 3.30pm and around 4.00pm. If day service transport isn’t needed, the service is open from 9.00am to 4.00pm.

The service is provided in safe, relaxed and comfortable surroundings by well trained staff who support people respectfully and sensitively with their personal care needs. The day service is well equipped to help people who find it difficult to get around and need support with their personal care needs, including those who may suffer from dementia or other life-limiting illnesses.
