Physical impairment and older people's service

Holt Park Active physical impairment service

The physical impairment service is part of LCC adult day opportunities and is a citywide service for adults with physical impairments and older people. The service is located at Holt Park Active.

It is a unique and inclusive service supporting people to explore resources in their community, improve their wellbeing and make friends. The service works with people to identify their strengths and achieve their goals whilst offering respite and support to carers.

The service consists of:

• the wellbeing team, who support adults with their independence and self-confidence, as well as promoting learning and developing new skills
• the community team, who provide community access to individuals and small groups of people who don't wish to access building bases, but need support to access shopping, leisure, or social events

What we do 

The core features of our service are:

• community integration: helping people take part in everyday local life rather than staying isolated
• health and wellbeing: access to gym facilities, leisure and recreational opportunities and support to increase exercise, stop smoking, lose weight and more
• social connection: providing a welcoming place to make friends and reduce loneliness
• carer support: giving family members and regular caregivers a reliable break or respite time
