Additional Information
The SHSCT has 15 directly managed Day Care Centres for adults with physical and/or learning and/or sensory disabilities within the Armagh/Dungannon, Craigavon/Banbridge and Newry and Mourne localities.
Day Care is provided to service users who have been assessed as having complex care and/or behavioural needs. Day Care services are regulated by the Regulation Quality and Improvement Authority (RQIA) who monitor the quality of service provision through announced and unannounced inspections on a regular basis.
he Physical Disability and Sensory Impairment Division provides day care for adults with a physical disability, sensory impairment or brain injury for the purpose of rehabilitation, maintenance and/or respite.
The day care model uses a partnership approach with other Trust departments and agencies which enable service users to access a wide range of opportunities geared towards maximising personal development and improving their quality of life.
