Kershaw Day Support Centre (dementia services)
The award-winning Kershaw Day Support Centre is a safe, stimulating environment that cares for and supports people with cognitive impairment, the majority of whom have a dementia-type illness.
The service we provide enables elderly people to remain in their own homes and communities, while also providing respite for their carers. Every effort is made to offer a person-centred service while meeting the needs of each individual.
The Kershaw service is for people living in the borough of St Helens and offers respect, dignity and choice, while maximising opportunities for people living with dementia, learning or physical disabilities.
The daycare service is designed to enable individuals who are experiencing low to moderate stages of dementia to be supported and wish to continue to pursue their interests, maintain their independence and retain or develop their social contacts while living at home.
