Day support services for adults and older people
Support to stay active, independent and connected during the day
Our day services offer a range of care and support for adults and older people to help them to stay well, active and connected in their community. If you think a day service is right for you or someone you care for, you can ask your allocated social worker or contact your local office to request a referral
What our day support services offer
We provide daytime support in safe, welcoming centres and out in the community. We work with you to build confidence, keep your skills and try new activities.
We offer a range of activities designed to meet different needs and abilities. Our focus is on helping you achieve your personal goals and take part in everyday life.
We focus on:
- personalised support
- helping you stay independent
- specialist help for people with complex needs
- opportunities to meet others and stay socially connected
We run nine centres across South Lanarkshire. Each one provides facilities to support the people who use our services, while also offering activities that help people connect and take part in their local community.
Who can access day support services
To access day support services, you need a social work assessment. This helps us understand your needs and decide if the service is right for you.
You can request an assessment by completing our social work enquiry form or by contacting your local social work office.
Costs and financial assessment
You may need to pay towards the cost of a day service. We will carry out a financial assessment to work out what you can afford.
We look at your individual circumstances to make sure any contribution is fair and manageable.
