Description

At The Romney Marsh Community Hub, we wish to help the health and wellbeing over the over 50’s. We support people in trying new experiences, meeting new people and have access to a range of services to keep people engaged and active within the local and surrounding communities. Whether people want to meet friends for a coffee or bite to eat, enjoy a hobby or interest with like-minded people or navigate your way through benefits and allowances, we are here to help. If people are looking to improve their health and wellbeing, we have a range of different activities and friendly classes that they can try such as Pilates, Tai Chi, Yoga, Keep Fit or even our seated exercise class. We aim to help people engage in activities both physical and non-physical with an emphasis on enjoyment and fun. We encourage those over 50 to become more active and try new things to help improve their overall wellbeing in a supportive and friendly environment. We run a number of craft classes for those that wish to learn new skills or continue practicing skills they have. Our day service provides a place where older people can meet with others of a similar age group for friendship and social interaction. We can also provide transport to and from a client’s home to help. Our information and advice services are here to help and support people. Benefit checks may reveal they are entitled to more than what they thought, we can help with the paperwork and or help submit forms online for them if they struggle with this. Our information and advice is impartial, easy to digest and is offered freely. We offer a selection on home cooked meals prepared daily in our kitchen. People are welcome to enjoy these meals here with friends, or if preferred we can deliver direct to the customers door to have at home. For people that need help at home with household tasks such as cleaning we have a Home Support service whereby we will send a fully DBS checked employee to you to help with household chores. We run a number of services including Dementia Coordinators to support people living with dementia and their careers. Anyone that has been affected by cancer is welcome to come along to one of our support groups and meet others that have had similar experiences to know they are not alone. We also host a number of clinics and support groups at the hub including footcare, diabetic eye screening, rheumatology, smoke free support and hearing clinics along with diabetes groups, ex armed forces meet ups and help with digital support. We have held a number of social events here, such as quiz nights, Race Nights and special luncheon’s

We help Carers to make a life of their own outside caring by providing quality care services offering peace of mind while they enjoy some time to themselves. Some of our Services: • Short Breaks Service: offers adult Carers a chance to step away from their caring role for a few hours each week, to enable them to recharge their batteries, get some sleep, or carry out the essential tasks of everyday living, whilst we also offer a pre-bookable replacement care to enable Carers to attend planned health appointments, and the treatments they need in order to stay well. • Carer and Dementia Crisis Service: offers free, practical support, designed to prevent the breakdown of a caring situation that might otherwise lead to a hospital or care home admission. • End of Life care supports Carers at some of the most challenging times in their lives. • Dementia Outreach service with 1-1 support to families living with dementia. Our volunteer service helps carers and the people they care for by providing free, practical, emotional and companionship support, as well as expert advice, information and guidance.
