Welcome To Combined Touch

 

Combined Touch is a not-for-profit social enterprise developed with its service users in mind. Our day centre is available five days per week and is aimed at service users with early onset to mid-stage dementia.

Now, having been granted, approval by the Care Quality Commission we are also offering domiciliary care to support people who wish to remain independent.

The purpose of our day centre is to combat social isolation and help support older people and people with dementia to maintain a good quality, full, independent and interesting life.

We welcome volunteers and actively encourage retired people to come along either to sit and chat, have a cup of tea and a bite to eat, or join us to provide support and assistance to our service users. We hope that by doing this, our service users will gain confidence and a sense of purpose.

Our days are structured but not regimented, and our service users are encouraged to use their minds and bodies in both physical and mental exercises, chatter, dance and music.

In addition to the centre, we offer domiciliary care, assistance and support at home such as helping to de-clutter, downsize to a new home, organise an existing home or move to a residential or family setting. Companionship and help with outings are also services we provide (such as cooking, cleaning, trips to the hospital/social occasions, etc).
