| The William Booth Day Care Centre
|
|
The
William Booth Day Centre aims to provide a professional Day Centre for
elderly, housebound and special needs residents of the Norwich area,
where they can receive sustenance and companionship in a warm Christian
environment.
The Day Centre opened in refurbished premises in St
Giles Street in November 1995, moving from a church hall in Bull
Close.
We are part funded by social services with the rest coming from
collections, donations and money we raise throughout the year.
The
centre is open 50 weeks a year, Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm.

Professional
care assistants are on duty to meet
the care needs of
those attending, including a bathing service. The centre
comprises a
lounge area, a separate 60-seater dining room, with a well maintained
garden area for use in the summer. Access and facilities for
the
disabled area present throughout the building.
We
cater for around 30 elderly people each day with an age range of 70 to
96. A large proportion of our members are housebound and live
alone.
Most are referred to us by Norfolk County Council Social Services.
Private contracts are available on request. Please telephone
the Centre
Manager on 01603 760503 or the Business Manager on 01603 620747.
A full and nutritious
cooked meal is provided at
lunch time with a menu
that is varied each week. Those with special dietary needs are catered
for. A mixed afternoon programme of events and activities is
offered.
Summer outings are arranged with either longer seaside trips
