REASONS FOR ENGAGING DAY CARE CENTRE SERVICES

From our experience, there are various reasons why families and seniors look to engage in day care centre services, but the most common reason that we often hear from families is that they are looking for a place where their loved ones can come to enjoy meaningful and heartfelt interactions and activities. For seniors themselves, some of them have shared that they often feel lonely or isolated at home, even though they might be living with their loved ones, as their children are often busy working, only returning home at night after work. This often leaves them alone for most parts of the day.

A day care centre like ours, or as we like to call ourselves - a club, we are here to work alongside families to bridge the gap in care that their senior loved ones might be experiencing at home, such as a lack of mental stimulation, social interactions and/or physical exercise.
