About Our York Dementia Day Care Service

Our Osbaldwick Sports Club
Every Tuesday & Thursday between 10am and 4pm
Osbaldwick Sports Club, The Leyes, Osbaldwick, York, YO10 3PR
Osbaldwick Sports Club is an amazing facility, spotlessly clean, comfortable and with full disabled access and a lot of safe flat outside space. When the weather is nice our dementia day care club moves outside into the fresh air a bit more often. We’re not limited to the club though because here at Rainbow Care Group we have our own mini bus and we get out and about on day trips in the local area. We have enjoyed trips to the piglet farm, the train museum in the city and the air museum at Ellington as well as the odd coastal trip for fish and chips!
Day club members are limited to 12 people per day which allows us to tailor preferences, diet and our service to each individual client.
Acomb Sports Club
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 10am and 4pm
The Green, Acomb, York YO26 5FG
Acomb Sports Club plays host to a cricket, hockey and bridge clubs as well as numerous other community activities including an annual music festival. It has a very welcoming feel and the spacious bar area has a separate TV area and plenty of space for our other activities. Straight outside the doors is a patio area and cricket field for use in better weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the taster day free?
Totally. We want you to experience the day as if you were a full member. This means places are limited, so please contact us today to reserve a place.
Is it a full day or half day?
The day runs from 10am until 4pm. This is really important to give the carer a full day respite, but also to embed the loved one into the group. The change that takes place when someone gets a full day of stimulation is much faster, so beneficial all round.
Can the carer stay with the loved one?
We don’t advise this, no. This is because it is as important for the carer to get some time off and feel refreshed as it is for the loved one to feel part of the group.
Is there food?
Yes, we provide a healthy, nutritious lunch for all. (Allergies will be discussed prior to a taster day)
Do you give personal care?
We can provide personal care and we will deliver this support in the most respectful and dignified way possible. We provide a thorough assessment where we will be able to offer clarification on everything we can provide as part of our service.
