What is available?
Day care is a popular service offered to people who need some
help with personal or practical care and are unable to get out and
about by themselves.
Day care is usually available in a resource centre, community
building or a residential home and offers more support than an
ordinary day centre can provide.
Professional caring staff can support you with personal care,
such as going to the toilet, reminding you to take medication or
help with washing or bathing. You will also have a hot meal and
drinks during the day and a chance to socialise and to take part in
a number of leisure and craft activities.
Who can get day care?
People over the age of 18 who live in Stockport and who need
help due to physical or learning disabilities, sight or hearing
loss, frailty or illness. Support is also available for older
people with mental health issues.
In order to find out just how much help is needed to make life
easier for you, we do need to carry out an assessment.
What is an assessment?
After the assessment we will identify and agree your needs with
you and discuss the help and support available to meet them,
according to the seriousness of your situation. We can
then help you to find a suitable place, or, you can follow the
link below to see a list of where day care is provided in the
Stockport area.

How much does it cost?
There will be some cost but the actual amount you pay will
depend on how often you use day care.
Can I get help with the cost?
It is possible. We will help you fill out a financial assessment
form to see if you qualify for financial help. To get a rough idea
of costs, you can carry out a quick, confidential financial self
assessment online.
How much will I pay for services?
Do you want more choice and control?
We may provide or arrange services for you but if you want more
choice and control over your own money and what you spend it on
then there a number of way that we can support you to do this. You
can choose to:
- Buy your own support using money given to you
- Ask us to arrange the support you need
- Keep getting the same support as you do now
- Have a mix of these.
