Peggy Dodd Centre
Peggy Dodd is an award winning registered charity which works in the Bath area to help people living with Dementia and memory loss, whilst providing respite to support the people who care for them. We do this through our Day Centre in Combe Down and home support service.
Our Day Centre is open Monday to Friday from 9am until 3.30pm and the last Saturday of every month.
We encourage clients to participate in a variety of activities which are designed to stimulate the memory whilst improving physical and mental wellbeing. Activities include community singing, gentle exercise, card games, dancing, quizzes, crafting plus much more.
There are two large day rooms and four resource rooms where the activities take place along with two separate dining rooms for lunch. We also have a beautiful, safe garden for walking or relaxing in.
Refreshments are provided throughout the day, with a two-course hot meal at lunchtime where we can cater for those with special diets too. Supervised bathing facilities can be provided plus hairdressing and chiropody is also available.
We can provide transport for those living in the Bath area but welcome others to make their own travel arrangements.
Our vision is to enrich the lives of those living with memory loss and their carers by consistently providing support which respects the needs of each individual.
