A New Vision for Older People's Day Services
Overview
This consultation addresses proposed changes to older people's day services in the borough. It focuses on the four day centres for older people with high and complex needs, who meet the Council’s eligibility criteria. These are Cloverdale Court, Gaynesford Lodge, Cheam Priory and Belsize Court.
