At Knowsley Dementia Day Care – Memory Lane, we provide a safe, welcoming, and supportive respite day service for people living with dementia. Our aim is to offer meaningful activities, social engagement, companionship, and personalised support while giving family members and caregivers valuable time to rest and recharge.

We understand that choosing a day centre for your loved one is an important decision, which is why we work closely with families to ensure everyone feels comfortable, supported, and confident from the very beginning.

​

Our Day Centre

Our respite day centre is open:

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday
10:00am – 4:00pm

Each day is carefully planned to provide opportunities for social interaction, enjoyment, stimulation, and relaxation in a friendly and caring environment.

​

Meals and Refreshments

We ask all clients to bring a packed lunch with them each day.

To help everyone start the day comfortably, we provide:

• Breakfast on arrival

• Tea and coffee

• A selection of hot and cold refreshments throughout the day

• Snacks and light refreshments

We aim to create a relaxed and homely atmosphere where everyone can enjoy time together.

​

Activities and Engagement

We offer a variety of activities designed to support wellbeing, encourage participation, and create enjoyable experiences. Activities may include:

• Arts and crafts

• Music and singing

• Reminiscence sessions

• Games and quizzes

• Gentle exercise

• Group discussions

• Seasonal celebrations

• Social activities and community events

• Days out

All activities are adapted to meet the individual needs and abilities of those attending.

 

Free Taster Sessions

We understand that attending a new service can feel daunting for both the person living with dementia and their caregiver. That’s why we offer a gradual introduction process designed to help everyone feel comfortable, confident, and supported every step of the way. We begin with a free one-hour visit together, followed by a £15 independent one-hour taster session, before offering a personalised settling-in period if required.

​

Supporting Families and Caregivers

Our support extends beyond the person living with dementia. We recognise the challenges that caregivers face and understand the importance of having time for yourself. By providing reliable respite care in a safe and supportive environment, we help caregivers take a well-deserved break with peace of mind, knowing their loved one is being cared for with kindness, dignity, and respect.

If you would like to learn more about our service or arrange a free taster session, please get in touch. We would be delighted to welcome you to Memory Lane.
