Caring for someone can sometimes be tiring or stressful and you may feel in need of a break or rest.

Our Caring Break Service will provide you with a few hours respite to visit friends, watch a film, have some pampering or simply ‘chill out.’

Ty Conway Day Centre – Home from Home

• Monday – Friday 10am – 4pm

This small day centre in Penlan, Swansea provides a happy and vibrant environment for older people. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities whilst they are cared for and supported by qualified staff and trained volunteers. Staff are always on hand to give visitors help and to take care of a wide variety of individual needs.

All Staff and volunteers are fully trained and subject to an enhanced DBS check.

“I do not know what I would do without them. They are so caring toward my husband and myself each time I go there. From my point of view I really appreciate what is being done for us now. I couldn’t go to town for a few hours if it wasn’t for your brilliant service and the staff at Ty Conway.”

“Without this service I would have to put my mother into a care home cause I would not be able to cope. Ty Conway gives my mum a social life, she absolutely loves coming and meeting up with her friends.”

“I am confident that without this wonderful service I would have been unable to continue caring at home for my husband.”
