I enjoy on a Wednesday to the Bury Hospice Daycare. The care I receive is very good. The attitude of the drivers is very helpful. The chat is friendly but not invasive. The receptionists 'Good morning' is a welcome greeting as is the pleasant smiles and welcoming of the canteen staff. Daycare takes place in a multipurpose room and social area both of which are welcoming on appearance. On entering, you are greeted with warmth and affection, are relieved of your coat and invited to sit with a tea/coffee and biscuit and staff take our contributions for lunch/raffle and ensure that we have all medication for the day ahead. Once the tea is served you are left to your own devices and can chat with fellow day care patients. There is plenty of time for discussion about personal conditions and help is always offered. The rest of the morning is taken up by a quiz of various kinds; there is plenty of good banter and laughter. Lunch is laid out in the workroom and everybody joins in. Meals are delicious, a choice of a three-course home-cooked meal. The afternoon session, arts and crafts and puzzles are fun. There is always something of interest going on. We have entertainment, a choir singer and animals come to visit followed by afternoon tea and delicious cake. We are picked up and returned home and fall into a very happy nap. I cannot think of anything that needs improving. It honestly is a home from home.
