Haviland House Day Service is opening its doors this February with a series of free events for people living with dementia and their carers to enjoy. As a dedicated day service providing tailored, person-centred care and dementia support, Haviland House Day Service is part of Worthing’s leading social care charity, Guild Care. The team also understands the importance of companionship, support, and respite for carers.

To encourage more families to discover the full range of services available for loved ones living with dementia and experience the friendly environment, team leader Sarah Johnson and her colleagues have organised a selection of social events. These provide a chance to enjoy some time out, meet others in a similar situation and experience the warm welcome and support of Haviland House Day Services.

An ‘Open Day’ is being held on Saturday, 15th February, between 1.30 and 3.30pm where guests are welcome to drop by, with no need to book and no entry fee. It’s a chance to explore the facilities, meet the team and learn more about the support offered for people living with dementia and their carers. There will also be opportunities to ask questions about regular care or simply to book onto the next free social events.
