Quality Day Care at the Heart of Kings Heath

The Robin Centre in Kings Heath, Birmingham, is a purpose built modern day centre established in July 2009. We provide care and support for older people, some of whom have been diagnosed with dementia. We are fully equipped to look after people with dementia and others in a comfortable, safe environment. Our dedicated staff are experienced and qualified. A day at the centre includes opportunities for friendship and engagement in a wide variety of activities. It also provides valuable help for carers who can have a day’s break knowing that their loved ones are being well looked after.

New Beginnings

Now in our 16th year, The Robin Centre marks a major new milestone. On the 29th January we moved into brand new premises, just a short distance from the old centre. This gives us much more space, more facilities, our own proper entrance for the first time and a brighter, airier feel all round. You can see from these pictures how our members are already enjoying it!

How did this come about? Our landlords, the All Saints Community Development Company (also a charity, like us) obtained a massive Government grant, over £3million, to provide new facilities here for young people. They wanted our old centre to be incorporated into the redevelopment. So moving us made sense for them and for us. When the building was first planned, in the early 2000s, it was always intended that our centre would be exactly where it now is. However, there was never the funding. Now, thanks to the Youth Investment Fund, the original plan has come to fruition.

Don’t worry, our service remains exactly the same. Your loved ones will be looked after here just as they have always been. Our highly experienced and qualified team continues in place. What’s changed is a bright new home for us and already we can feel the difference!

Weekly open hour for enquirers

Every Monday (except Bank holidays) we are open between 3.00-4.00pm for anyone who wishes to look round the centre and meet the staff/ask questions. No appointments necessary.

Transport arrangements

Every day we offer transport to and from the Centre for those who want it.  In the past this has been through designated buses provided by Ring and Ride and by Shencare.  At present these are no longer available and we are organising a taxi service.  A daily charge is made for this service which we are subsidising.

Meals

On arrival at the Centre, members are offered a light breakfast. There is a two course lunch every day and tea and biscuits before departure. Cold drinks are available to anyone needing them, at any time of the day.

There is a full programme of activities for our members, though if they prefer not to take part that is no problem. We offer a light exercise activity every day, and every morning and afternoon there are also craft, games or entertainment sessions.
