Welcome to Lockswood Care & Wellbeing Centre
Nestled in the heart of the thriving Centre Way community shopping centre in Locks Heath, you’ll find Lockswood Care and Wellbeing Centre directly next to the GP surgery. Our later life & dementia day care centre provides a safe, welcoming and supportive environment where older people can enjoy companionship, meaningful activities, nutritious meals and opportunities to stay active and engaged. For carers and families, it offers valuable reassurance and peace of mind, along with time to rest, recharge or focus on other responsibilities.
We welcome all older people, including those living with a dementia diagnosis. Our person-centred approach means we take the time to get to know each individual, understanding their interests, preferences and needs so they can enjoy their day in a way that feels comfortable, familiar and fulfilling.
At the heart of Lockswood is our dedicated team of staff and volunteers, led by Centre Manager Carly. All of whom are passionate about helping people feel connected, valued and supported.
Through ongoing specialist training, including dementia awareness and wellbeing programmes, our team has the knowledge, compassion and experience to provide high-quality support. Just as importantly, they offer a warm welcome, a listening ear and a friendly face, helping every person who walks through our doors feel at home from the moment they arrive.
“My aim is to ensure that Lockswood Care & Wellbeing Centre is a place where people feel safe, supported and genuinely cared for. We are committed to delivering high-quality day care services that promote independence, dignity and wellbeing. By working closely with clients, families and our experienced team, we create a vibrant and inclusive community where everyone can thrive. Come and meet us and join us for a free taster day and have some fun.”

Client Feedback...
Care & Wellbeing Centre Client
I enjoy coming for the company and the atmosphere is wonderful! Being at home alone is a very lonely life. I didn’t think I liked art, but have found I’m quite good at it and really enjoying it.

The centre is an escape from the four walls of my house. It means a lot to me to be able to meet and talk to other people and I enjoy the quiz activities especially.
