VIP Day Centre

VIP Day Centre Franchise

Supporting people to live well with all types of dementia, sensory impairments and disabilities. Our Director Natalie using entrepreneurial flair started VIP Day Centre after dementia specialist training, has 14 years previous experience in supporting people living with dementia, sensory impairments and disabilities. Natalie holds level 2, 3 and 5 in Health and Social Care, level 5 in Business Management. Natalie is also a member of the local Dementia Action Alliance Redditch and Bromsgrove and has recently been a judge at the Great British Care Awards. Natalie noticed the lack of support in the area when her Nan was diagnosed with dementia and needed specialist 24 hour care but her Nan had refused to go into residential care or nursing care.

When caring for her Nan 24 hours a day 7 days a week she found there was very little affordable support in the area to enable her to remain at home. This resulted in Natalie and other family members becoming stressed and extremely tired as we were trying to respect her wishes to remain at home with no breaks due to lack of services in the area. Also working with the local community in varied roles for over 14 years Natalie has witnessed the massive need for day care services locally, and as a dementia specialist feels she could make a significant difference to support people and their families with a day centre.

The growing numbers show it may well affect demand on service provision in the near future as our population ages 1 in 3 people will develop dementia. When people try to find a day centre in the area it proves impossible as domiciliary care agencies only tend to provide one to one care.

Natalie decided she needed to create a sustainable day care business model, where people can meet others and create friendships that will help to reduce social isolation within our community, by providing opportunities to extend social networks and form relationships, maintaining interests, activities and social involvement.

Natalie is determined to make sure everyone has access to best quality care. VIP Day Centre has now been open 5 days a week for 5 years and expanded into two locations, which has created 14 full time positions. Many members and staff never want to go home, families say they wouldn’t cope without us.

Our Aging Population

As the elderly population continues to grow, so does the demand for elderly care. The drive to meet the needs of the elderly has led to a lot of successful businesses and franchisees. Adult day care centres are one of such businesses that emerged from the senior services niche. The centres provide compassionate, creative care for individuals.

Research has it that the number of seniors in the society is growing exponentially making the elderly a unique segment of the society that needs to be given great attention to. A trend being noticed of late is that people don’t really like to institutionalise their aged parents and relatives anymore, especially if such parents or relatives are still strong and mentally vibrant.

Adult day centres are places where people can take their aged loved ones for a few hours in a day, after which they would take them back home. Companies serving this niche provide health-care related services and non-medical care combined with social interaction and group social activities for senior citizens or individuals with health-related needs.
