BDSS wants to encourage its DCCA Clients to use the Social Support Service

For the Client   This service aims to provide both practical and social support.  Its availability will be entirely dependant upon demand from you.  It is being considered, that once a month, a minibus service will collect you and take you to a venue.  This may be a cafe, a lovely garden centre for lunch, a farm shop for shopping or tea and cake next to the river, cafe by the seaside, tea in Queen Victoria's house or cake with the monks in their gorgeous cafe.  You may bring your CarePA or CompanionCarePA with you. 

We will organise the venue, take your paid booking, pick you up (your CarePA may need to join you there depending on space and your needs) and our Care Manager will organise and attend ensuring it is an enjoyable and safe trip out. 

 

The Isle of Wight has so much to choose from, you are free to make suggestions for your trip out.  If this becomes popular and oversubscribed, then we will of course consider doing this more frequently.  The only cost will be for the hire of the minibus and driver and any food you buy.  We will pay for the tea and coffee.  Our time and organisation will be courtesy of DCCA.  We hope it proves popular

​

We hope this provides another way to enable clients of Daisy Chain Care Agency to be living their best lives. 

For the CarePA    It is important that a CarePA feels supported in their sometimes difficult role and we hope that clients look after and acknowledge the service a CarePA gives.  Much of this work can be done alone.  DCCA would encourage all CarePAs to regularly join the cafe and chat, unwind, relax and enjoy the support from each other.  It is a very good way to destress.  We aim to run this fortnightly at places like Harvey Browns and DCCA will pay for the beverages, you just pay for any food!  It is easy to get to and a relaxing place to be, inside or out. It has easy access free parking and provides good tea, cake and food. You can meet and share the work you are doing.  It is a simple thing, but we do encourage using the support this can provide.
