Jill

Resident

I get a bit lonely at home all day on my own. I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed my day. I had my hair done by the stylist. I then had a beautiful lunch. We played a competitive game of bingo and then I had a really relaxing foot reflexology session. Great package and well worth the money. I have now booked in for fortnightly day care.

What Does A Typical Day Look Like?

Day care visitors have full access to our luxury facilities and grounds. They can enjoy a movie in the cinema, a delicious meal in the bistro, or a treatment in the salon. For those who wish to stay active, we have an on-site gym and our landscaped, accessible gardens with views of the Hertfordshire hills, are the perfect place for a stroll.

Day care guests usually visit regularly, typically arriving at 10am and leaving at 4pm. This includes a hot, two-course lunch, unlimited drinks and snacks, access to entertainment and activities and full use of the facilities. We recommend that hair and spa treatments are booked in advance.

How does Day Care Work?

We understand the challenges of caring for an elderly loved one. As rewarding as caregiving can be, it often comes with emotional and physical demands that require time to rest and recharge. Elderly day care ensures your loved one receives expert care, while you have time to catch up on daily life or take a well-earned rest.

At Water Mill House, our day care service offers older adults the chance to experience the warmth and kindness of our dedicated care team. Enjoy companionship, practical support, and engaging activities, in the comfort of our welcoming care home.

Whilst some community day care centres require a referral from a relative, GP or a self-referral, we don’t. As a private care home, our placements are subject to a care needs assessment to make sure we can provide the support you need. To find out more, contact our friendly team for a chat.
