What happens at Russia Lane Day Centre?

The centre provides care, support and stimulation for 25 people with moderate to severe dementia. All users have a ‘Key Worker’, through this system we aim to provide the continuity of a designated member of staff, and help create closer relationships that will encourage users to express their needs and achieve the aims of their Care Plan.

How can I use the centre?

Users must meet the council’s ‘eligibility criteria’ for receiving a service.

Placement at the centre can only be offered following an assessment by a Social Worker. The assessment is to clarify the individual’s needs and ensure the authority's eligibility criteria is met. Also a diagnosis by a Psychiatrist of the individual’s moderate to severe Dementia. If the assessments confirm the need for Day Care placement, referral/Care Plan is passed to the day centre.

Anybody can refer someone who they think is in need of care and support to adult services for an assessment. This includes family members, carers, doctors and potential services users themselves.

To make a new referral call the Social Care Contact Team on 0300 303 6070.
