Residents enjoy access to frequent visits from local specialist providers such as GP clinics, physiotherapists, dietitians, optometrists, podiatrists and hairdressers.
In addition, the home’s social care coordinators draw on the home’s lively community atmosphere to curate memorable outings and events as well as daily activities to inspire engagement and promote social wellbeing.
The home’s staff views its residents as people, not patients. They take pride in providing a warm and compassionate environment for residents and their visitors to enjoy.
St John’s also houses a dedicated memory support service where holistic care centres on the whole person, not their memory loss or limitations.
Through listening and learning about each person, staff frame services and strategies to give people with memory loss the ability to live life to their full potential.
