Welcome to the St Vincent’s Nursing Home web site. Our mission is to promote the home as a centre of excellence, where our residents receive high-quality care and are the focus of everything we do. This is achieved through meeting our residents’ needs, as they perceive them, and striving to improve our services and environment.

Development and continuous improvement are integral to the St Vincent’s way. Involvement at every level of the home is very important – especially the employees of St Vincent’s.

Loyalty, dedication and commitment are key to the home maintaining its high standards. Investment by staff in all aspects is very important.

Our values

Each resident shall be considered as an individual with their own special needs and wishes.

It is our philosophy to ensure that everyone is treated with respect and dignity and that they will be cared for until natural death.

All staff shall use and develop their knowledge and skills to improve our residents’ well being and to provide professional support to everyone.

St. Vincent’s prides itself in ensuring that the whole person is cared for including their emotional, social and spiritual needs.

Making the right choice

Many people have to make a decision about a care home in a crisis, perhaps after a fall or illness, or the death of a carer. Looking back they often wish they'd had longer to look around. So if you think you or a relative might need a care home in the future, it's a good idea to do some planning now, so that you'll know what to do should the need arise.

St Vincent’s as a Registered Charity offers over 100 years’ experience in caring for people. It started its life as a home for ‘crippled boys’ in 1907 and developed into a centre of excellence in orthopaedic surgery and therapy. St Vincent’s Nursing Home is carrying on this long tradition and reputation by providing high quality care in caring for the older person. Many people have chosen to make St Vincent’s their home, where they live permanently, some come for a short period of respite care, or convalesce after a hospital stay.

Our high standards mean residents benefit from personalised care, provided by skilled, friendly staff. Whether you need support with everyday tasks or 24-hour assistance, the care we provide is designed to build on your strengths and constantly seeks to improve your quality of life.

Above all, each resident is treated as an individual, and able to exercise choice in all aspects of their care. We encourage as full and active a lifestyle as possible, with rules and regulations kept to minimum, and visitors are welcome at all times.

Each resident has their own regularly updated care plan. Additional services such as speech therapy or physiotherapy can always be arranged, as can opticians, podiatry and dentists appointments.
