Day Care is a supportive, social day-only programme, providing an ideal option for people who want the reassurance of professional support in a safe environment, without moving away from home.
What to expect when you enjoy the day with Radius Care:
At Radius Care we believe in providing the right support at the right time, so our broad mix of services covers everything from respite and rest-home to hospital-level care. Day Care fits within this continuum, offering structured daytime support, companionship, and relief for family carers, at one of our safe, secure and inviting care homes. In addition to Day Care, we can provide overnight or extended periods of support through Respite Care.
Our day programme includes:
- A delicious midday meal plus refreshments so there’s no need to worry about catering.
- Guests can relax in a friendly, homelike atmosphere, spending time with peers and making new friends.
- Join in activities designed to encourage social connection and fun, with time to chat, laugh and unwind.
- Outings, entertainment, and visits from special guests add variety to the week, and there’s always space for shared experiences.
Many of our Day Care and Respite Care guests find huge benefits in the extra social engagement and support – helping people to re-engage in loved activities that can be difficult alone at home or even to just enjoy a change of scenery and some extra social interaction.
Contact us to discuss availability and costs or call your nearest care home directly. You may also be eligible for funding assistance, and we can guide you through the application process.

Testimonials
| My experience with the day-care service at Thornleigh Park rest home was what my family and I would most definitely describe as generous and supportive of my mother and her care. The service itself is an opportunity for loved ones to get out and enjoy themselves at a great establishment and bond with the staff and its residents. My mother was well taken care of and made some great friends whom she cherished until the end of her life. Her mood was lifted frequently by the staff. My children loved visiting Thornleigh Park to see their Nana for a cup of tea and to reminisce about the "good old days". We are grateful to this day that she was well looked after. I think this service is important to have at any rest home because it gives the residents a chance to get out and about and feel young again. They feel safe under trained supervisors and keep intact their independence to return to their homes at the end of the day. This also gets them used to the possibility of permanently residing at the rest home, having already formed connections. The reason my family and I chose Thornleigh Park rest home was because it came highly recommended to us through word of mouth and was the best decision we made for my mother. Thank you very much, Lisa West |
