Homelink, based in Whitton, Twickenham,
is a day respite centre offering family carers a
much-needed weekly respite break from their
caring duties.
Clients attend Homelink with a variety of conditions including dementia,
stroke, MS, mobility issues and those encountering social isolation. Our
purpose-built dementia-friendly centre provides a happy and secure
environment where people can enjoy the stimulation other company
provides while being cared for and supported. This gives their carers peace
of mind and provides them with free time to take a break from what can
be an exhausting and stressful daily routine.
Our team provide an enjoyable and stimulating day and a warm and
friendly home-from-home atmosphere. In addition to our team of dementia
trained staff, we are fortunate to also have a team of committed and trained
volunteers who help in various ways with the daily operation of the centre.
Our clients enjoy a variety of activities including discussion groups, games,
quizzes, music therapy, entertainers, armchair exercises, reminiscence and
creative pursuits. We offer refreshments throughout the day as well as a twocourse
freshly prepared hot meal. Our clients have access to a lovely outdoor
space so they can enjoy a cup of tea and chat with staff and volunteers in the
warmer weather.
Homelink also offers a free Carer Support Service providing carers with
a complete support framework, including advice, information, informal
emotional support in person and regular meetings and social groups where
carers can share experiences and ideas.
