Thinking about a day centre can bring up a lot of questions. What will the days look like? Will you feel comfortable? Will the staff understand you? At Larkspur Care, we want you to feel able to ask all of them.
A welcoming place to spend your day
Our day centre is a calm, inclusive place for adults with autism, learning disabilities and additional support needs. You can come along to meet people, make friends and take part in things that interest you, at a pace that suits you.
There is no single way to spend a day with us. Some people prefer quiet activities. Others enjoy being busy and social. Both are welcome.
Activities built around you
Every activity is tailored to your interests, abilities and goals. Our days can include:
Creative activities that let you express yourself
Developing everyday living skills at your own pace
Sensory experiences that feel calming or stimulating, depending on what you enjoy
Getting involved in the local community
The focus is on independence, choice and personal development. You decide what you want to try, and we help you get there.
Support with appointments
Attending important appointments can feel stressful, especially when you are not sure who will be with you. We can help you get to hospital, GP and doctors' appointments, and visits to family and friends.
Our DBS checked staff make sure you arrive safely.
If you wish, staff can stay with you during the appointment.
Staff can help you update loved ones with essential details afterwards.
We have a wheelchair adapted vehicle available.
You don't need a diagnosis to ask
You do not need a diagnosis to be listened to, understood and helped. If you are not sure whether the day centre is right for you, we are happy to talk it through.
