The Rainbow Care group this week announced the launch of a person-centred dementia day care service in South Warwickshire.

The clubs are run by specially trained dementia experts who will oversee a carefully structured day that incorporates physical and cognitive elements that are widely accepted to slow progression of the disease.

During the day Rainbow's dementia specialists will look after club members, give them a hearty lunch with snacks in the morning and afternoon and as much juice / squash / tea / coffee as they want or need.

Director of the Warwickshire region, Rebecca, said: "This service truly is day care with a difference!

"The person-centred approach allows us to focus on activities that the club members love and we ensure there is a relaxed and informal environment.

"Members feel more like they are having a day out, rather than being 'put into care for the day' giving peace of mind to carers and allowing them to enjoy their valuable day of respite'.

"The day clubs provide reminiscence, cognitive, sensory and creative activities ensuring a fun and stimulating day. We also bring in external entertainment and enjoy trips out to local attractions so that the clubs stay engaging and that our members truly get the most out of their day!"

The new Leamington club will be running at The Lillington Club, every Monday and Wednesday between 10am and 4pm from Monday, November 27.
