Affordable Care Centres Offer Vital Break for Family Carers Across Hampshire

Age Concern Hampshire Support
Age Concern Hampshire is dedicated to keeping day care affordable, ensuring older people and their families can continue to access vital support at a time when many family carers are under pressure.
 
With half-day care available from £38.25, the charity’s Care & Wellbeing Centres provide a flexible and accessible option for family carers who are struggling to balance caring responsibilities with work, employment, and other family commitments, helping them to look after their own wellbeing, find time to rest, and stay supported while caring for their loved ones.
 
Operating from centres in Locks Heath, New Milton, Yateley and Dibden, Age Concern Hampshire offers a safe, welcoming environment where older people can enjoy companionship, stimulating activities and professional care. For family carers, this support provides trusted respite and peace of mind, even for just a few hours.
 
Sessions include engaging social and therapeutic activities, optional nutritious meals and refreshments, and personalised support from trained and experienced staff, including assistance with personal care and medication where required. Transport can be arranged for those who need help getting to and from the centres.

Hannah Park, Head of Operations at Age Concern Hampshire, said “Family carers are often under immense strain, juggling caring responsibilities with work and other family commitments, often while facing financial pressure. We are dedicated to ensuring our services remain affordable so family carers can access support before reaching crisis point. Our half-day care sessions, from £38.25, help families get high-quality care without the cost of full-day or residential alternatives.”
 
Age Concern Hampshire recognises the vital role family carers play in supporting older people and believes affordable, preventative support is key to sustaining both carers and those they care for.

Age Concern Hampshire Launches New CRM System to Revolutionise Day Care for Older People

ACH New System

Age Concern Hampshire, a leading charity dedicated to improving the lives of older people across the region, is excited to announce the launch of its pioneering new Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. Developed in partnership with Dom Portal and powered by Zoho CRM, this bespoke, state-of-the-art technology, will transform the delivery of day care services, strengthen connections with families, and ensure the highest quality of care for older people. 

By centralising information in one easy-to-access platform, the system will reduce administrative time, allowing teams to focus fully on enhancing the day services provided in each of its four Care and Wellbeing Centres across the county, enabling them to spend time on care. Real-time updates will ensure that staff are easily informed of any changes or updates to that day’s schedule, leading to quicker and more efficient responses.   

This innovative approach will not only improve the overall experience for those receiving care but will also enable Age Concern Hampshire to extend its reach and support to even more individuals in the community. 

ACH New System

The new CRM system is built to improve communication both within Age Concern Hampshire and with the families of those in its care. It will provide families with easy access to information about their loved ones’ daily activities, participation and meals, helping them stay informed and engaged in the care process, while promoting peace of mind. 

“We are delighted to launch this new CRM system, which we believe will revolutionise the way we deliver care to older people in Hampshire,” said Hannah Park, Head of Operations at Age Concern Hampshire. “This technology will allow us to build stronger relationships with families, improve communication, and ensure that each individual receives the best possible care. We are committed to providing the highest standards of support, and this system is a key part of achieving that goal.”  

This investment represents a significant milestone in Age Concern Hampshire’s commitment to delivering the highest quality care to older people. The cutting-edge solution is specifically designed to address the rising demand for personalised, efficient, and person-centred care as the population continues to age. 

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 Foot Care clinics, Help at Home, Information via their Information Hub, Hospital to Home Services, Community Information Volunteer Services and a variety of other activities.
