Skills for Living Programme

Lansdowne Care Services has now launched Skills for Living, a new day care programme.

Skills for Living has been designed to motivate and encourage clients to apply themselves to new activities and skill sets to promote the achievement of outcomes. The programme offers a selection of structured sessions offering choice and ensuring clients receive a balance of knowledge-based learning combined with practical activity. A wide range of courses are on offer which allow clients to pursue the activities that appeal to them and allows them to meet personal goals. The skills learned throughout the courses ensure transition into everyday life and each session is structured according to individual ability levels.

The day care programme allows for clients to also enjoy periods of free time each day, where they can interact and socialise, or fulfil personal hobbies.
