Carers Choices

Formed in 1981, Carers Choices is the leading Essex based Charity supporting Carers and the people they care for through dedicated and specialist respite services. We provide services in the home and in our innovative day centre settings to meet the needs of Carers.

We deliver our support for Carers through several different service areas:

• Home Help and Community Care - Trained staff provide a CQC registered service helping Carers to take a break, supporting clients with multiple calls and providing help in the home including domestic tasks. 
• Day Opportunities - Silver Birch Centre specialist Dementia centres in Essex operating 5 days a week giving Carers a quality 6-hour break and providing cognitive stimulation therapy to clients; Rainbow Centre for Adults with Disabilities specialising in more profound disabilities also operating 5 days a week giving Carers a quality 6-hour break and providing a range of activities and day trips; Overnight Respite service for clients in custom made bedrooms allowing Carers a longer, well-earned break.
• Young Carers - supporting ages 5-18 year olds through weekly groups and one to one's. Every session is structured with engaging and varied activities from indoor & outdoor sports, yoga sessions to arts & crafts, cooking, quizzes and musical theatre.
• Men's Shed - An innovative support mechanism for men in the community that are either isolated or in danger of being isolated. Our mantra is to Reduce, Repair, Repurpose, fixing furniture for the charity or individuals in the wider community.
