Oakburn Park
Day Care

Oakburn Park provides a Day Care service to a specified group (frail people over the age of 60) that live within the area of East Dunbartonshire Council.

The principles of the service are:

• to safeguard individuals in situations where they may become vulnerable
• to empower individuals to exercise choice
• to maximise independance
• to promote social and community inclusion 
• to ensure a high quality service
• to provide accessibility

The service is open Monday - Friday betwen the hours of 9.00am and 5.00pm.

The support package includes:

• Personal care
