Transcript of Roundtable on the Future of Day Services for Older People
The Future of Day Centres
Our preconceptions?
We need more than just comfy chairs and bingo…
A Tale of Two Services
Around 3500 centres na0onwide used by the majority of women
Easy to find and access your local centre.
Link Age Plus had just 8 na0onal pilots.
Most coun0es have less than 10. There are no na0onal networks.
Many centres can only be accessed via social care assessment.
The Future? A Sector Under Threat
What the future might look like?
Diverse but with a common sense of quality
We walk in different shoes, but we all need places to stop
along the way
The Power of the Arts
Claremont
But how do they do it?
Considering who has the power?
To guide funders
To re-ignite policy debate
To support those running centres
