“Our mum, Lydia, has thrived since she started attending the day centre at Charnley Fold… She is allowed the freedom to express herself, whilst we know that she is given opportunities for her memory, cognitive and physical abilities to be stimulated, in a program that is specially designed for her.” – Lydia’s daughters

“Dad loved the table tennis marathon today at Charnley Fold, what we hadn’t told you is that dad played table tennis professionally in his youth and his memory of playing came flooding back, however his body isn’t quite as nimble at it used to be. A hot soak in a bath was in order. Best day he has had in years, well done”.
