Statement on day care from Milecastle Housing

Milecastle Housing is pleased that the uncertainty over the future shape of day care provision in Prudhoe has now been resolved.

We recognise this has been an unsettling period for older people in the area who have used the Oaklands centre, so Milecastle will now move as quickly as possible to confirm what type of activities we can provide at The Manors.

We will work with residents, their families and key service providers to shape the delivery of services to ensure that a range of activities is offered within the budgets available to both Milecastle Housing and the users themselves.

Alison Urquhart, support manager for Milecastle Housing, said: “The Manors has already proved a popular scheme with residents of the apartments and those using the Manor Kitchen restaurant. Now we can look forward to providing a full programme of activities and personal care for older people in the wider community too.”
