Myself and my daughters are extremely thankful and grateful to Michelle and her wonderful team at Active Minds Day Centre for the care, compassion and fantastic service they provide. They go above and beyond for my mother and have been a blessing for us as they have also provided us with invaluable support and piece of mind our loved one is safe, well fed and happy whilst we are at work. We receive photographs of her daily activities she happily participates in at the Activity Centre, they make her feel at home and she often refers to them as part of our family which they have genuinely become a part of our extended family now. It is clear to us how much this Activity Centre has had a positive impact on our loved ones life, she is stimulated, able to maintain a social life, the centre is amazing and caters for our loved ones needs with lots of pictures and nostalgia including Elvis who she loves. The centre play old music which is an instant relief for our loved one she enjoys dancing with her all the other members and playing bingo with them too. We were anxious with the thought of our loved one attending a new place without our support she has relied on for the past 2 years, however, the Activity Centre has been the best opportunity for my mother to continue to live a good quality of life and Michelle has provide reassurance to us from the moment we spoke to her over the phone. We cannot thank Michelle and her wonderful team enough we would be lost without you now and we hope you know how special you all are and the difference you make with the positivity you bring to peoples life . Xx

Mum has been going to Active Minds now for a few months and she absolutely loves it there. Michelle, Michael and the team are fantastic, mum loves all the activities especially the dancing as this keeps her fit and Active. I would recommend Active Minds to everyone.

It was our good luck to have attended the Active Minds Centre in order to attend a meeting ( curtesy of Michelle at Active Minds) with members from the South Sefton Memory Centre. It was very well attended and, at the end of the meeting, I asked if my husband ( Alzheimer's) could be fitted in 2 days a week. He had previously not enjoyed a previous day centre and I was intent that he could be accommodated at a place where dementia members were clearly understood and welcomed. Michelle was immediate in her agreement, so, in Autumn 2024, my husband started to attend the centre. I was very relieved to see that he was overseen by experienced and totally supportive and sympathetic staff who were clearly understanding of his " issues ". The happy and fun atmosphere was extremely welcoming, which gave me total confidence of their abilities to help my husband to ' conquer ' his lack of socialisation and shyness. They had their work to do !!!! Since then, he regularly goes to Active Minds twice a week and has grown to feel relaxed and now asking when he can go. I can only say that I bless the day that I found out about the place - and am continually impressed with the range of entertainment/ activities and general ambience that he enjoys. We are so lucky to have been accepted to be members of this totally empathetic, caring and wonderful staff. Thank you all.

This day centre is amazing. Thanks to the loyal staff that look.after our loved ones and Especially Michelle the owner who supports families with vital information, meetings and support groups... The support my poor mother receives is amazing with this horrendous Dementia illness....The staff are so dedicated... Thankyou so very much 💓

Updated 27th Jan 2025 When my Mum started attending Active Minds in Crosby in August 2023, I wasn’t sure how it would go. Michelle, Mike, and Molly were incredible from day one. My Mum was nervous at first, but when I took her to visit, we were greeted so warmly by the team and attendees. Her hesitation disappeared, and by the time we left, she couldn’t wait to start! Now, she goes twice a week (sometimes three) and absolutely loves it. They keep her warm, engaged, and well-fed, which means the world to me as her son. Knowing she’s thriving in such a supportive environment gives me peace of mind. They handle everything seamlessly—from collecting her in the morning to dropping her home at the end of the day. If you’re unsure, I’d highly recommend speaking with Michelle and arranging a visit. Seeing it first hand made all the difference for us, and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. ********** ********** ********** We recently found this amazing place in Crosby, run by Michell and her husband. My Mum has been going twice a week and is loving her time there. She has made new friends and has lots of activities to do each day. They enjoy the fresh air in the lovely garden. There is dancing and a movie room to watching older movies to invoke memories. Lots of other activity rooms as well. We can't thank Michelle enough for her advice along with her friendly, caring and professional attitude.

I attended a memory clinic workshop at the centre, it was excellent, the information provided was very informative and extremely helpful. Thanks to Michelle and the Memory clinic nurses. I look forward to the next one.

I was fortunate enough to meet Michelle and see the wonderful work that Active Minds does for it's members & their families. What a beautiful place for people to come & enjoy the welcoming surroundings with great people that support them.

My mum attends twice a week and really enjoys it she has made new friends and loves the trips and activities, Michelle Mike and Molly are fantastic I would highly recommend Active Minds.

Finding Active minds day centre was the best thing that happened to me and my husband Dai on our dementia journey. Michelle and her team supported us, gave advice and encouragement. They are available 24/7. I was encouraged to ring at any time if I though I needed support. It was reassuring to know they were only a phone call away. Michelle and her team have created a centre were the members take part in stimulating and interesting activities which are tailored to meet their needs. The members feel valued and enjoy being there.

Active minds could well be called Beautiful minds. From our 1st visit just speaking to Michelle and her views and knowledge and sense of determination to make this a wonderful setting for peoples loved ones and the feeling she gave of care and warmth with every word she spoke was really fantastic to see and hear. Everybody who work in there make it a wonderful place for my mum to look forward to going every morning. The sense of wellbeing and care everybody shows is so welcoming to myself and my family and to know that the support does not just end when my mum leaves at the end of the day but also is just a phonecall away is fantastic. My mum loves everyone there and her face lights up of a morning when Mollie opens the door. Thank you all for what you do.
