A County Durham Co-operative Business

Since 1994.

We offer services in local communities across County Durham

DACC believes in supporting the regeneration of our villages across County Durham, that is why we deliver our day care using local community venues and employ local people wherever possible! 

 We offer the very best services in our field. We never settle for second best and our members and their families are our top priority. It’s who we are and we are proud of it. 

Who We Are

We love what we do and it shows. With 30 years of experience in the care sector, we know our industry like the back of our hands. There’s no challenge too big or  too small. Our dedicated staff provides adult day care to people living in County Durham.  

 Our Values

Every member is unique to us and our approach is very much person-centred. That’s why every one of our care plans will be tailored to fit your needs exactly. We sit down with each member, their carer or loved ones, and any other professionals involved, we listen to your requests and agree the care that you will need.
