Adult day care in York.

Friendly and fun, day centre activities and support.

Getting together, keeping up social skills and having fun is a great boost to our wellbeing. They are also some of the best ways to combat loneliness and depression, lowering hospital admissions and prescribed medication.

“I wanted somewhere where people would get to know my husband. Know when he’s having a bad day, what his interests are, and they certainly have. Donna and her team are amazing… Wonderful support from a fab team!” Sheryl

Our clients enjoy socialising, crafts, cooking and entertainment. Everyday is different and we tailor our activities to the things our clients enjoy, together with seasonal celebrations, what’s happening locally and in the wider world. Our fees are transparent and fully inclusive of all drinks, snacks, a two-course hot lunch and all activities and VAT.

Today was a sad day at the Day Centre, today we said goodbye to someone who has been an important part of our team for the past 9 years! It’s hard to sum up everything Danika has contributed during this time, from your dedication and hard work you brought every shift.
While we are sad to see you go we are also excited for you and your next chapter.
Thank you for your commitment, your energy and the countless moments that have made the last 9 years so memorable.
Wishing you all the success and happiness in your new journey. You will always be part of the Day Centre family!!! ❤️
(We will still see Danika from time to time as she is staying on bank with us 😀)

Today, the staff and clients all held a two-minute silence to remember and honour the men and women who have served, suffered, and sacrificed their lives in wars and conflicts around the world. The silence gave us a moment to reflect on their courage, the cost of war, and the importance of peace.
Our poppy board that all the clients had a hand in making and these beautiful poppies that one of the carers at Apple Tree made for us. 🌺
