Day centres provide a range of services for people who need support because of physical, emotional or mental health disability.
Day centres operate in towns and villages throughout the county, usually on a Monday to Friday basis - some open on Saturday. These centres are managed by Oxfordshire County Council, Age Concern, independent charities and local village groups.
Oxfordshire County Council centres
Our centres aim to help people live as independently as possible in their own homes and communities. We provide a wide range of activities, helping people to stay healthy and stimulated. We pay particular attention to cultural and creed needs.
Voluntary Day Centres
As well as Oxfordshire County Council day centres there are also centres run by volunteers which offer a welcoming atmosphere as well as food and refreshments.
How can I be referred to a day centre?
People can be referred to day centres by care managers, health professionals such as GPs and district nurses, family, friends - or they can refer themselves. Some day centre services are only available following an assessment
This is a discussion with you to find out how best to support you with the problems you are having. We will look at your needs and decide whether you are eligible for services including attending one of our day centres.
If you would like more information and to find out whether you would be eligible for the service, please contact us.
