Benore Daycare - NOW OPEN
With life expectancy continuing to rise, more and more uf us need assistance
as we get older. Benore Daycare is designed to provide support for those people who can no longer manage independently or
who are isolated and lonely.
Sometimes family members or primary carers may feel reluctant to use Daycare services
because they are unfamiliar or because a loved one is hesitant to try something new. Benore Daycare however, can benefit the
Service User and the Caregiver.
Service Users can benefit from socialising with others and receiving needed care
services. Caregivers can benefit by getting a break from caregiving duties whilst knowing that a loved one is in good hands.
The goals for Benore Daycare are to focus on enriching our Service Users' lives, by building on their skills,
knowledge, unique abilities and strenghts. We have a planned programme of activities designed to promote well-being through
social and health related services in a safe, supportive and cheerful environment. Some examples are listed below:
(It must be stressed that whilst we encourage participation, it is not compulsory.)
Arts & Crafts
Musical Entertainment & Sing-a-longs
Mental stimulation games such as BINGO
Stretching or other gentle excercise
Discussion groups (books, films, current events)
Holiday & Birthday celebrations
Local outings
The Benefits of Benore Daycare
"Benore Daycare offers a win/win situation for everyone in the family, not only the Service User but also for
the family member who has primary responsibility as a caregiver. Benore Daycare provides a much needed respite for the caregiver,
affording a break from the physical demands and stress of providing round-the-clock care."

When is Benore Daycare right for you?
If you've been a highly independent person used to caring for
other all your life, it may be difficult to consider allowing "strangers" to care for your beloved family member
or indeed yourself.
As with any service, the best time to start exploring what is available is before you actually
need it.
Benore Daycare is right for you when:
You can no longer structure your daily
activities
You are isolated and desire companionship
you can't safely be left alone at home
You need to provide a break for your primary carer
