Elimhouse Community Association Southwark
London, UK
Elimhouse Community Association is a leading day care organisation for the elderly based in Southwark, South East London. Formed in 1980, we have many years of experience providing day centre facilities for Caribbean elderly people in the area. Our organisation runs a full time day centre which creates leisure time actives and day time community care. Service users are mainly, but not exclusively Caribbean, African and other BME elderly people, who are over 60. An innovative organisation, we are committed to the principle of opportunity and participation equality to ensure the achievement of our purpose. Our aims at Elimhouse are to provide care and support, assess individual needs and promote the well being of service users, develop and create activities that engage service users. Where necessary, we also support carers to ensure we are making a real impact in our local community. One member recently told us: "I like the people I meet here. It was also very comforting attending the Centre during my bereavement for the loss of my dear husband." Another has said: "The transport of the centre makes my life easier and less burden for my family. I also like the lunchtime and the food is great."
