    • Ella's Story

      Ella tells us how Thorney Croft Day Care Centre in Stranraer made such a big difference to her life:

      “My name is Ella. I am 89 years old and I have attended Thorney Croft Day Care Centre for two years. When I first joined, I felt lonely and quite isolated because my family do not live locally. I remember my social worker Jane encouraged me to join, she said it would be good for me to mix with other people and that Thorney Croft had really helped lots of people she knew. I must admit, I was reluctant, I said to myself, “How will it help me?” and “I won’t know anyone”, but I eventually decided to give it a try.

      And now…well things have really changed! I do so much at Thorneycroft, I start the day doing some baking (and until I started day care I hadn’t baked in my life – who would believe I would start baking at my age!) and after that I do any number of great activities. We do it all – visits from local schools and entertainment, going for ice creams, musical exercises, quizzes to keep the brain active, gardening – and even just having a nice catch up over a cup of tea. 

      The staff are wonderful and encourage us to try new things. They’ve always got time for you and really include us in the running of the centre, I’ve even been involved in interviewing staff for the service, it makes me feel my opinion is valued.

      Sadly, I recently lost my son who lived in America. I was devastated but I can honestly say without the friendship and support from staff and my friends Helen and Margaret who I met at Day Care, I would not have got through it.

      Day care has really helped me cope with the challenges and changes in my life. I often think, how did I cope without it. It’s a great wee place, it changed my life.”
