Polish cities expand day‑care centres for seniors and medical patients

In Olsztyn, the Dzienny Dom Senior+ Laurentius on Hozjusza Street continues to have free places for residents aged 60 and over who are not professionally active. The centre, run by NGOs in partnership with the city, offers daily rehabilitation, gymnastics, walks, workshops, meals and social interaction, and is reachable by bus lines 101 and 127.

In Łódź, the Dzienny Dom Opieki Medycznej (DDOM) on Odrzańska 29 provides daytime medical and rehabilitative care for people who have left hospital but still need professional nursing support. Access requires a doctor’s referral and health‑insurance coverage. The multidisciplinary team offers nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, diet counselling, art therapy and tele‑care, aiming to prevent re‑hospitalisation and support recovery.

Both facilities are municipal‑NGO collaborations that broaden day‑care options for seniors and post‑hospital patients in Poland, emphasizing active lifestyles and coordinated health support.
