How to access our services?
The Eldercare Centre has an open referral system, which means that anyone can make enquiries about attending the Centre. Once we receive a referral we ask our Care Co-ordinator to contact the person being referred to explain what we do , answer any questions and gather information to enable us to ensure that we offer the right level of support to meet the persons expectations.
There is no need to make a referral to come to the Pop Inn as this Centre is open to anyone over the age of 50 and their friends and family.
