My Grandad has dementia

💙”My grandad has dementia, and finding a place where he feels safe, valued and engaged has meant so much to us as a family.

The staff at Over Day Centre are incredibly kind and patient, and he loves all of the activities.

It’s so lovely to see photos of him interacting with the team and making friends with other members.

We are so grateful to the centre for giving Grandad a new sense of purpose — and something to smile about every day.” 💙

It's lovely here. I like all the activities and I have friends I sit with. I like the word games best (like Word in a Word) but I'm happy with any quizzes and also the singers that come in to entertain us. I've even done some drumming. We also have animals to visit, like dogs (trained as therapy pets) which I enjoy. The staff look after me and I really like the food. The lunches are really good.
