Dementia Day Care Service - Specialist Dementia Care Cambridgeshire

Devika Care Company - Specialist Dementia Care & respite for carers

Since winning the Peterborough Small Business Awards in 2024, Devika Care Company has continued to grow and thrive, opening even more of our specialist dementia day care centres across the East Anglia region.

We are proud to now operate eleven dedicated Dementia Day Centres strategically located throughout local communities, specifically designed for individuals living with Dementia.

Our primary objective is to enhance the overall wellbeing of our attendees; while enabling them to maintain their independence and continue living comfortably in their own homes for as long as possible.

In addition to supporting those with Dementia, our service plays a crucial role in providing caregivers with five hours of essential respite each day, allowing them to recharge and attend to their own needs without the constant demands of caregiving.

Locations and Services

We run our Dementia Day Centres in six different locations across Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Huntingdonshire and Lincolnshire; each thoughtfully selected to be accessible and convenient for the families we serve:

• Peterborough

• Wisbech

• Huntingdon

• Spalding

• Thrapston

• Tallington

Our centres operate from 10 AM to 3 PM, providing a structured yet flexible environment for our attendees. The cost for attending our centres is £15.60 per hour, totaling £78 for a full day (including VAT).

Each centre is designed to offer a range of stimulating activities tailored to the individual preferences and capabilities of our attendees, ensuring that everyone can engage meaningfully in a safe and welcoming environment.

While we do not provide transportation services, we do ensure that every participant enjoys a nutritious lunch consisting of sandwiches, crisps, and cake, as well as a variety of refreshments, fresh fruit, and biscuits available throughout the day.

Furthermore, we enhance the experience by inviting two live singers, a talented saxophone player, and a personal trainer to join us each month, all of which are included in the daily fee—there are no hidden costs or extra charges.

Focus on Wellbeing

At our Dementia Day Centres, we place a strong emphasis on improving our attendees' wellbeing. Our sessions are designed to incorporate a wide range of mentally and physically stimulating activities, alongside the joy of music and the warmth of companionship (we give lots of hugs too!).

To ensure personalised attention and care, we maintain a staff-to-attendee ratio of one Dementia Day Centre Assistant for every three individuals, adjusting this based on the specific needs of the group. Additionally, we are fortunate to have volunteers join us from time to time, further enriching the experience and ensuring that everyone's needs are met. Above all, we prioritise creating a safe and enjoyable atmosphere where each attendee feels valued and engaged.

Creating a Supportive Environment

From the moment our attendees arrive at our Dementia Day Centres, we strive to immerse ourselves in their world. We encourage them to express themselves freely and authentically, fostering an environment where they can truly be themselves.

Our dedicated staff and volunteers are trained to understand the unique challenges faced by individuals with Dementia, and they work tirelessly to ensure that each attendee feels understood, respected, and supported. By cultivating meaningful relationships and a sense of community, we aim to create a nurturing space that not only enhances the quality of life for our attendees but also provides peace of mind for their families and caregivers.
