Dementia Care Support
A safe and supportive environment for people living with dementia, with personalised activities and familiar routines designed around individual needs, interests and abilities.
A welcoming place to spend the day
We believe day care should be about more than support. Our friendly and experienced team creates a warm environment where people can build friendships, enjoy meaningful activities and feel part of a community, while families have peace of mind knowing their loved one is well supported.
Located at Riverdale Court Care Home in Welling, our Day Care Service is open Monday to Friday, 10 am – 3 pm, offering support for older people and those living with dementia.
Support tailored to you
Every person is different, which is why we take time to understand individual needs, interests and preferences. Our team provides practical support and encouragement throughout the day, helping clients maintain independence while enjoying a range of activities and social opportunities.
Activities & Events
Our varied activities are designed around individual interests and preferences, with opportunities to socialise, stay active and enjoy meaningful time together.
Respite for Families & Carers
Flexible day care that gives families and carers valuable time to rest, work or manage other commitments, while their loved one enjoys a safe, supportive and engaging day at Riverdale Court.
Partnerships & Referrals
We work closely with local professionals and services to help individuals access the right support. We welcome referrals from Social Services, Mental Health Teams, GPs and families.
Events, Family & Community
There’s always something happening at day care. From quiz nights and seasonal celebrations to special events with families and the Riverdale Court care home, our programme brings people together to enjoy friendship, fun and shared experiences.
We encourage families to get involved and enjoy special moments alongside their loved ones. Regular activities and events also provide opportunities for Day Care and Riverdale Court residents to connect, building friendships and creating a strong sense of community.
Activities & Everyday Life
Our varied programme gives clients opportunities to stay active, socialise and enjoy activities that stimulate the mind and encourage independence. From games and quizzes to music, crafts and group discussions, there is something for everyone to enjoy at their own pace.
From entertainment and social events and meaningful activities, there’s always something to look forward to.

John absolutely loved dancing to Kuch Kuch Hota Hai — seeing him enjoying himself, dancing and smiling honestly made our day! 🥰
We staff had just as much fun, dancing, laughing and even learning the steps from each other! 😂❤️
Sometimes it’s the simplest moments that become the best memories. Definitely a memory I’ll never forget. ✨
Our residents this morning enjoyed playing bingo with a cup of tea and snacks … we also had a chat and a few laughs😋😊
Tea/coffee and sing along 🎤🎼 for our residents this morning 😮
