Mr K Elden

“I would like to say thank you to all the staff at the Ben Day Centre for all the care and kindness you have shown to my wife Anne. To look after someone with Alzheimer’s takes a lot of thoughtfulness, patience, understanding and to me that is what Ben’s staff have in abundance. Never did I think I would be so lucky as to find such a place as the Ben Day Centre. I know when Anne leaves our home in the morning on the bus she is in safe hands. To say thank you seems barely adequate, so please accept my thanks and gratitude.”

A warm welcome

We know how difficult it can be to care for your loved one and still go out to work each day, especially if they are frail or suffer from dementia. This is why we created the UK’s very first workplace day centre, providing a safe and happy place for up to 20 adults every weekday.

Our day centre promotes independence and wellbeing, which is why we also welcome those who are more independent, who may benefit from socialising and participating in organised activities and outings.

“I would like to say that the Ben Day Centre and all the staff have been absolutely amazing with my mum, from picking her up in the morning from her home, to joining in games, having her hair done, catering for her needs and general chit chat, to bringing her home.”

“My Dad has been attending the Ben Day Centre for just over a year since my Mum passed away. Dad has dementia and Mum was his main carer. The Ben Day Centre has been our saving grace and gives us peace of mind knowing dad is well cared for whilst we are at work. All of the staff are excellent with Dad and are brilliant at dealing with all of the everyday challenges that dementia brings. He needs consistency, patience and understanding and the Ben Day Centre staff provide this in bucket loads. We are always informed and consulted if there are any changes or concerns that need to be dealt with in partnership with the centre. They do a fantastic job and we can’t thank them enough."
