Wellbeing day centre

Centre lead: Rebecca Thompson

The wellbeing centre is in Edenbridge Memorial Health Centre and welcomes people with long-term conditions, dementia and elderly people who need support to better care for themselves.

To be eligible to attend you must be registered with a medical practice in west Kent.

Referrals to attend the day centre can come from a doctor, a healthcare professional or neighbouring community hospital.

Following a referral, a member of the wellbeing centre team will arrange an assessment; this will provide them with information relating to your needs. It’s also an opportunity to discuss the criteria to attend and how the wellbeing centre can support.

There is plenty of free parking available at the health centre if a friend or relative is able to provide transport. Subject to transport criteria transport may be available but there is minimal availability.

A therapeutic programme of care and activities is offered. This includes topical discussions, daily national newspapers, quizzes and games, craft and gardening. Clients benefit from social interaction, while the centre offers some respite for carers and relatives. A pet therapy dog will attend weekly to meet and greet you.

The wellbeing centre nursing team will carry out regular minor observations and health checks, including blood pressure and can support you to find out more about other health and social care providers.

At present, the wellbeing centre team needs to plan in advance and know numbers attending to make sure the centre can accommodate everyone comfortably.

A hot lunch and refreshments are provided at a cost.
