The charge is based on your individual circumstances. A person with Dementia can get their care paid for by the Local Authority. Typically this is four visits a day from a carer- morning, lunch, dinner and bedtime. Often these visits can be as short as 15 minutes and can cost about \u00a3360 per week.<\/p>\n<p>By cutting out the lunch and dinner visits, the same person could spend a morning or afternoon in good company at Woodclough Day Centre. We do interesting things, give help with medication , even give a drink and a sandwich to take home. For a little more than a price of a couple of cups of coffee life can have some meaning again .<\/p>\n<p>If you think your relative has Dementia ask your GP to give a diagnosis. If Dementia is diagnosed the Local Authority will fund a package of support for them.There is also a fixed charge for lunch.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"purple\">Who is it for?<\/h2>\n<p>Anyone who is a resident of Rochdale, Heywood, Middleton or Manchester. We also provide support and advice to those who may be caring for an elderly relative, friend or neighbour.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"purple\">How to access the service<\/h2>\n<p>Referrals to our Day Services come from a variety of health care professionals including social workers, district nurses or care managers. Families and individuals can access the service direct by contacting Woodclough Day Centre. Once a referral is received, a manager from PossAbilities will arrange an initial visit to the Centre for the person, usually with whoever referred them, and their family member \/ carer.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"purple\">Get in touch<\/h2>\n<p>If you are interested in learning more about how our services may benefit you, please contact us.
