Residential Care
At St Bernards we have created a home for our residents, this has been achieved over many years of hard work. through observing and developing successful care practices.
Each resident is treated as an individual, which it is central to our care. Residents each have an assigned ‘Key Worker’, whose aim is to build a loving compassionate relationship. A pivotal part of the Key Worker programme is to create a ‘Life History’, as everyone has a story.
Our superb carers ensure that every day needs are met whether that is to help with washing or dressing or round the clock assistance.
We have a dedicated catering team, Wilson Vale Catering, who provide wonderful home-made food using fresh vegetables and ingredients every day. Individual needs, diets and preferences, such as gluten free or vegan options are provided.
At the heart of our care is ensuring residents have the chance to take part in meaningful activities suited to them, not just one size fits all.
We have a beautiful garden and residents are encouraged to take part in and get as much fresh air as possible. Many of our rooms overlook and have access to the garden.
Dementia Care
At St. Bernards we have always treated our residents with dignity, respect, love and compassion that they deserve. Coupled with a progressive, creative and meaningful approach, it is our emphasis on providing training and learning opportunities for our staff.
Living with Dementia doesn’t have to feel challenging or lonely, at the centre of our care is the focus on a “common sense” approach. Our home is designed to cater for each residents needs. We have a safe and well-designed layout, several lounges that interconnect and our fabulous garden has circular level walks and features such as a large fishpond with a waterfall and a garden spa.
We take a holistic approach to dementia, creating a sensory experience through ‘touch’ and creating the right ‘ambiance’ throughout is at the heart of what we try to achieve. We carefully choose activities that give the right levels of stimulation, while respecting each individuals need for safety.

Testimonials
What People are Saying
“Extremely pleased”
“High praise”
I cannot praise the home and staff enough. The care is fantastic. Mom always looked immaculate and the staff interact with the residents all the time. There are activities on every day or the staff take the residents out on trips down to the beautiful gardens.
“Settled quickly”
My mother entered the care home in November 2017. The staff are very caring and quite tactile. This has helped my mother settle quickly and she is more happy and contented than I have seen her for a long time. The care home is like a hotel rather than an institution.
