Services

At Seagrove, we’re able to offer a range of services that help enrich the lives of those living with dementia, as well as older people. We also work to provide advice and support to carers.

Day Care - Essential Information

Our day care service runs six days a week, from Monday to Saturday. It supports up to 29 members per day and has 174 places available weekly.

The centre is closed on 25th and 26th December, 1st and 2nd January and Easter Monday. We also close for two staff training days a year – written notice is provided for these dates. 

Seagrove is open to members from 10am to 3pm. Members who have arranged private transport should aim to be dropped off at the centre at 10am and collected at 2.45pm.

  • “Give it a chance. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done. You meet nice people. Everyone who comes here are, more or less, in the same position as you are. I always look forward to the morning and think: Oh, good its Seagrove today.”

  • “I like the company. The company is spectacular. I like the dancing and the food.”

  • “I like to meet my pals here. We have a proper blether about our younger days. The old Leith. We have a few old Leithers here. We have a right old laugh and sing song when we can.”

    M

  • “The staff in Seagrove are dedicated. They are caring, kind. They are funny. If I need extra days for hospital appointments they will accommodate. I wouldn’t exist without Seagrove. It has got me through. Know there is someone to talk to there if I get to rock bottom.”

    C

  • “Thank you for providing such a great service. Dad always enjoyed coming to Seagrove and it was part of his weekly routine. He looked forward to being picked up, being at the club, taking part in the activities and having his tasty lunch. Time at Seagrove also gave me a chance to do some things in my own time.

  • “Thank you doesn’t seem enough words to cover the immense joy you have given mum over the last few years. You have gone the extra mile when needed and your compassion and care has been greatly appreciated.”

Support for carers

We understand the unique and, at times, complex needs of carers, which is why we host monthly “Time for Carers” meetings. 

These sessions are informal, informative, and open to all. They provide a place for carers to share their stories and get support from others in a similar situation. We aim to give carers time to express themselves and recharge their batteries.

Support for carers is also available from Seagrove’s staff outside of the formal meetings and can be arranged by getting in touch or speaking to a member of the team in person.
