The Wallacewell Day Care Centre in Balornock was developed as part of a £100 million council investment to transform residential and day care services for the city's older people.
Features include activity rooms, lounges, a treatment room, hairdressing salon, quiet room and dementia-friendly garden.
The centre can support up to 30 vulnerable older people each day and help them to continue to live independently at home for as long as possible.

"It is a bright and modern building and the design will help ensure the needs of service users can be meet here for many, many years to come. I'm fully confident this centre will play a major role in helping vulnerable older people to continue living at home for as long as possible.
"I am proud to say Wallacewell Day Care Centre has been opened by the council on behalf of our older citizens. I have no doubt the centre will become a much valued asset for the community in the years ahead."
