Birdston Day Care

Birdston Day care offer a vital service for those living alone. An opportunity to get out for the day and socialise with others and yes get that all important hair do when needed.

As a relative it is reassuring that mum has a weekly activity built into her diary. Thanks for everything.

Staff always exceptionally polite when you call.

like to receive the day report to know to see what she has being doing and eating

My dad attends Birdston twice a week and it has helped him so much. They do so many activities which is excellent. All the staff are lovely in the Day Centre and also when my dad is picked up and dropped off.

My mother has been attending day care for a few weeks now to enable me to have some respite as I am her 24 hour carer. Initially I was apprehensive that she would enjoy the experience. My concerns have proved unfounded. It is a considerable relief to me that she now looks forward to her 'day away', she very much enjoys meeting the carers, the other people attending day care and also the meals and activities provided. I have found the carers at Birdston to be kind, caring, professional and interested in providing those in their charge with a friendly, positive experience.

Would highly recommend

The carers are very helpful and supportive on arrival at the day care centre . when I pick my wife up she comes out with a smile and tells me she had a lovely time. I am very comfortable leaving my wife in the care of Birdston although she never remembers exactly what activities she took part in or what she had for lunch she tells me she had a lovely time . It is a comfort to me knowing she is well cared for and I thank the staff for their kindness. Thank you for all that you do ,

Our initial interview with the manager helped us to become aware of how the day care works, which was very helpful as this was all new to us. We were made to feel very welcome. Every single member of staff has been kind and caring. There are many activities to keep my husband stimulated. He always comes home settled having had a good day even though he is never able to tell me what he did!

Hi, I would just like to commend the staff on the excellent care and attention that they give to my mum whilst she visits Birdston Day Care. They are constantly thinking up activities and outings to keep the clients entertained and my mum always comes back happy and more alert when she has been to Birdston Day Care. I have nothing but praise for the staff and the service who have cared for her for the past three years. Absolutely invaluable service! Thank you. Keep it up!

Excellent Daycare for mum, they can’t do enough for her. Mum has dementia and since starting to go to Birdston on a Saturday, it’s given her a new lease on life, a reason to smile again and I personally feel as if I have my mum back again, can’t thank the team at Birdston enough.

My mum always enjoys her days at Birdston. The staff are very caring and helpful. Mum comes home tired after participating in many of the activities organised by the staff. She is always happy and upbeat when she gets home.

More day trips outside would be beneficial, especially for those who are wheelchair-bound.

Mum-in-law was at first apprehensive about going to daycare as she does not like trying new things but she quickly settled in. She now looks forward to her Saturdays at Birdston and phones me when she returns to tell me all about her day. She is always happy and stimulated when she returns. She looks forward to her lunches and especially likes the entertainment - she loves music and to dance! She has made new friends and praises the staff constantly. A lovely day out for her!

You always make interesting and varied days.

All in all we are very pleased with the day centre service.

Mum always looks forward to her time at daycare. The staff go above and beyond what is expected. I am eternally grateful for their help and support in making mum's experience fun, safe and enjoyable. There is always a variety of activities and mum loves the entertainment.

Both my parents attend Birdstone twice a week, the difference in my parents in a short time has been significant. They love going and look forward to all the activities and lunch. Both have improved in fitness level as well as social level. It has been amazing for myself as when they attend I no longer worry or call 2-3 times that day from work to check they are alright. Getting picked up by the bus and dropped home by the bus makes them feel very independent. I could not recommend this service enough the staff are amazing and the care and companionship they provide is absolutely excellent thank you so much.

My mum recently started the daycare centre and she loves it, really looks forward to a Tuesday. They come and pick her up and also drop her home again, they have tea and toast in the morning and I must say she loves her lunch and the food does sound delicious. Mum likes meeting the other men and women for a chat and they also have great activities during their time there, it's also great for dad too as it gives him a wee bit of a break for the day. All in all a great place, with great people, and the staff are fantastic well done Birdston daycare and thank you.

My mum attends Birdston Day Care and has done it for a number of years. She absolutely loves her time here, meeting up with friends, playing games, listening to music and even getting her nails done. She loves the visitors that the staff bring in, singers, dancers and entertainers. The staff are all friendly and welcoming and get to know their clients very well. The only gripe she ever has is that the food portions are a little small, but she likes her food. All in all it's been a very positive experience for her.

My husband seems to enjoy himself but as he is a man of few words the Carers inform me of what activities he has partaken in and how he enjoys his food. The entertainment has been good. For example, the music and Highland Dancing. He does not remember where he has been but is very content when he returns

I would definitely recommend Birdston Day Care.
