Tapestry Day Club offers day care with a difference. We are a not-for-profit enterprise providing high-quality, stimulating, small-group day support for people living with early-stage dementia and in social isolation.

Our fully vetted and trained hosts welcome up to six guests into the comfort and safety of their family homes. Our mission is to create an environment where our guests feel cared for, have regular face-to-face contact with others to enable strong relationships to form, regain confidence and ultimately remain a valued member of the community.

We have found that the friendships that develop create the opportunity for our guests to talk about and support each other through their memory worries and challenges. The day also provides valuable respite for our guests’ carers.

The day includes morning and afternoon refreshments – tea, coffee, biscuits and cake­ – a home-cooked, two-course lunch as well as optional activities in the form of memory-boosting games.

The day costs £45 plus an additional £10 if transport is needed. All we ask of our guests is that they can get in and out of a car, manage a couple of steps into the home, look after their personal care and most importantly want to come.
