Age Concern Hampshire have launched a new initiative to provide affordable day care packages, as a cost-effective alternative to families seeking full-time residential care for their loved ones. Delivered from their Care and Wellbeing Centres, the day care packages offer clients the opportunity to enjoy substantial discounts when they attend multiple days each week. This makes it a more accessible, practical and affordable option for carers, enabling loved ones to stay at home for longer and alleviates the financial and emotional strain.

Full-time residential care can be an expensive option for many families, making finding a quality and affordable care option very difficult. Age Concern Hampshire aims to bridge this gap by offering a cost-effective solution that ensures older people receive the care they need whilst easing the financial strain on families. Affordable package pricing means the more days attended, the more significant the saving.  

Hannah Park – Head of Operations at Age Concern Hampshire said “We’re delighted to be offering affordable day care packages to our clients, as we believe quality care should be accessible and affordable for all. Entrusting a loved one into our care can be a hard decision for family and loved ones, our Care and Wellbeing Centres are here to support clients on their ageing journey, whilst offering valuable respite to family and carers.” 

In 2021, there were an estimated 5.4 million unpaid caregivers in the UK. With many families providing informal care for elderly family members, this pressure creates emotional and psychological challenges, especially when caring for individuals with chronic health conditions or cognitive impairments. It can lead to stress, anxiety, and depression for family caregivers, as well as daily challenges in balancing work, family, and caregiving responsibilities. Age Concern Hampshire recognises these emotional and financial challenges and are committed to offering support that eases the burden on families. 

The charity has Care and Wellbeing Centres in Dibden, Yateley, New Milton & Locks Heath, which include accessibility and support for older people with mobility challenges or disabilities. To learn more about their affordable day care services or to book a free taster session, please contact them on 01962 868545. 

 Founded in 1985, Age Concern Hampshire provide services to the older community of Hampshire. The charity currently deliver support at their Care & Wellbeing centres throughout the county, as well as Help at Home, Information via our Information Hub, Foot care clinics, Hospital to Home Services, Community Information Volunteer Services and a variety of other activities.
