WELLBEING
CARING FOR BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT AT ST. VINCENT'S
Wellbeing of Body, mind and spirit
We truly believe that caring for the Body, Mind and Spirit together is crucial to our residents’ wellbeing because they’re so linked. Our responsibility as a residential care home for active people means everyone is helped to join in – even if it’s a bit harder than it once was. Our Activity Coordinator arranges a programme of popular activities, with something for everyone to enjoy. There are exercise and movement sessions, painting, crafts, games, gardening – and we always welcome new ideas!
active and engaged
We like our residents to be as active and engaged as they can be, because it promotes their good mental health. As a residential care home for active people, we’ve invested in a dedicated Activity Coordinator who plans a daily programme of stimulating events around the interests and hobbies of our residents that meet everyone’s individual Body, Mind and Spiritual needs.

Wide-ranging
All residents are encouraged to join in with at least some of our popular activities by our Activity Coordinator. We’re always open to new suggestions too if it encourages more people to have a go!
There’s a vicar next door who is always on hand to offer spiritual support and we hold a monthly in-house service for those who are interested. Residents of all religious and spiritual beliefs are welcome and we look to accommodate everyone’s individual needs for worship.
