What is Elderly Day Care?

Elderly day care is a non-residential service designed to support older adults during daytime hours. Unlike respite or residential care, which involves overnight stays or long-term accommodation, day care allows individuals to return home in the evening.

It’s ideal for carers who need time for work, errands or rest, while their loved one enjoys structured activities, warm meals and social connections in a safe setting.

Our respite day care model offers dependable support without the full commitment of long-term care. By choosing elderly day care, Southbourne families can ensure their loved ones maintain routine, purpose and companionship throughout the day.

Why Choose Primrose Lodge Southbourne for Day Care?

We pride ourselves on creating a warm and welcoming space where every visitor feels valued. Our elderly day care programme is delivered by fully trained staff who tailor each day to meet individual preferences.

Whether it’s enjoying a home-cooked lunch, joining in a group activity, or simply relaxing in our landscaped garden, our guests benefit from a thoughtful balance of comfort and stimulation. Safety is always a priority, and our secure environment allows families to feel confident about their loved one’s well-being.

The friendly atmosphere and personal approach at Primrose Lodge make us a trusted choice for day care in Southbourne.
