Have your say on the future of Council’s Day Service for older people in Houghton Regis
Thursday, 24 August 2023
We own and operate seven-day centres – four of which are for older people. We have now launched a public consultation on the future of Houghton Regis Older People Day Centre.
The focus of the consultation is to consider the relocation of the Houghton Regis Day Centre for Older People to All Saints View independent living scheme located on Sapphire Place, Houghton Regis. The relocation would entail the eventual closure of the Houghton Regis Day Centre.
Councillor Mark Smith, our Executive Member for Adult Social Care said:
We are committed to providing the best possible opportunities for the users of the Houghton Regis Day Centre and to achieve this goal are actively seeking input from the community regarding its future.
We believe that the proposed move would provide an enhanced experience for customers in a more comfortable and dementia-friendly environment. If approved, it would also open doors for customers, their families, and staff to participate in the design and development of the new space.
The public consultation period is open until Monday, November 6.
We have produced a consultation document which outlines why we are consulting, and information on the proposed option. To view the document and to have your say please complete the questionnaire.
