Day Centres Consultation - Clients and Carers Survey

This consultation proposes to deliver better value within Shropshire Council's in-house day services. The proposals to achieve this are:

Proposal 1: Close the Day Centre service at Helena Lane (the building will remain open and is used for other services).
Proposal 2: Transfer the Aquamira Day Centre service to Abbots Wood (excluding the hydrotherapy pool) and offer those using the site support at Abbots Wood or another location if appropriate.
Proposal 3: Explore the re-shaping of some Day Centre support to modernise the offer and enhance outcomes for individuals.

The proposals above are based on detailed analysis and the aim of making the Council’s in-house day centres more sustainable and suitable for the longer-term needs of adults with learning disabilities and older people.

Any service changes and reductions are difficult, and public feedback is now required to aid decision making by councillors. No decisions have yet been made. Please share your feedback using this survey. If you would like to share comments further you may also email TellUs@shropshire.gov.uk or write to us at:
