Life in St Catherine's

St Catherine’s is a warm, welcoming and friendly home that has some very special features. All our bedrooms are comfortable and spacious and we encourage residents to personalise their rooms to make them more homely.

Our home has wonderful spaces to relax in and enjoy company, including an activities room, lounge area and two large conservatories which provide a wonderful area for residents to relax.

We have beautiful dementia friendly gardens, so resident can enjoy relaxation and activity outdoors with family and friends. As a specialist dementia service, our furnishings and lighting are designed to meet the needs of our residents.

Food and Nutrition

Mealtimes represent an important social occasion and we work to ensure they are as enjoyable as possible, unhurried and relaxed with everyone given plenty of time to eat and enjoy their meal, while chatting and socialising with other residents.

We make a point of celebrating birthdays and special occasions, as well as celebrating and dressing up for national festivities and events such as St Andrew’s Day, Mother’s Day and Burns Night

Our chefs prepare nutritious and delicious meals with snacks and refreshments available throughout the day. We can also support people who have specialist dietary needs.

Care and Support

We are committed to providing personalised support that ensures our residents lead active, happy and fulfilled lives. All staff receive specialist training and mentoring. We really get to know our residents and spend time understanding their life story and the things that are important to them, so we focus on the things that really matter to them.

Every resident has a named key worker who helps develop their own personalised care. We hold a regular forum with residents, enabling them to voice their views on the day-to-day running of our home. We have strong links with local organisations in the community including Alzhemier’s Society, Age UK and local advocacy groups.
