New daycare centre for Scarborough care provider

A Scarborough care provider is launching a bespoke new day centre to meet the needs of local elderly people with dementia and learning disabilities.

Happy Futures Support Specialists Ltd supports individuals with learning disabilities, mental health and complex care needs and is launching the new luxurious daycare centre in the area.

Four units near their current offices will be converted into a daycare centre to support younger people with mild learning disabilities and complex needs and older people with dementia.

Happy Futures Chief Executive Officer, Angela Fletcher said: “It will be open to those who need extra support during the day so that their family can have some respite. It will be a safe place for individuals to be supported to thrive”.

“We know the benefits of mixing people of all ages to improve everyone’s mental health and wellbeing, so we are welcoming people of all ages. Some people with learning disabilities are prone to getting dementia in later life. This bespoke centre will be both a short and a long-term solution. The facility will benefit anyone who is an unpaid carer in the community who needs time out, whilst their loved ones are being supported throughout the day in a beautiful environment with a caring and supportive staff team”.

“Other similar services are closing, however when everyone goes south, we go north. I want to make it a bespoke, well-designed and comfortable place to be. We’ve completed research about what works in a daycare centre environment. I don’t just want it to be single chairs in a circle in a stark room. I want to make it a really welcoming environment.”
