Crossroad Care - A Rest Bite Day Care Centre and Support Group

Professional care and support in a warm and welcoming atmosphere
Activities and entertainment throughout the day
Lunch cooked on premises
Fully trained staff
Carer Support Worker on site throughout providing information and emotional support.

As an alternative to home care, the aim of the Centre is to provide a safe, friendly and relaxed atmosphere both for carers and the cared for with an opportunity to meet and socialise with other people in a similar situation. At the same time their carer will have an opportunity to have some precious time to call their own.

We encourage carers to visit the centre and see how warm and friendly we are. The first session when you come to visit is free of charge. Please book an appointment to come and see us.

All of our staff and volunteers are fully trained and also have an enhanced DBS.
