For a day

Day care refers to a short break where the person you care for spends several hours or perhaps the whole day at a day centre or day hospital.
Often these breaks offer activities for the person you care for which he or she may find both fun and rewarding. They will also often offer the opportunity to socialise all in a safe, secure and friendly environment.
