DAILY LIFE AT VIDA
Vida Hall has been carefully designed and built to our exact specification to allow our residents to live healthily, happily and as actively as possible under the expert care of the Vida Hall team.
Dining & Nutrition
Nutritious food plays a big role in keeping elderly and vulnerable people in good health. We understand that encouraging your residents to eat well can be challenging at times – that’s why we put so much effort into creating an extensive choice of nutritious meals and special diet options to ensure our residents not only receive the necessary nutrition but also enjoy mealtimes.
We do have set mealtimes at Vida Hall, however, residents can eat when and where they would like, be it in one of our dining areas or in the privacy of their own room.
Wellbeing & Life Enrichment
We know that giving people a sense of purpose and self-worth is vitally important to their wellbeing. Whilst we do have wellbeing facilities, it is en-grained in our staff that it is all of our responsibilities to help our residents live a joyful and fulfilled day. We are focused on maintaining the independence and dignity of our residents. That might be just helping someone make their own cup of tea, or promoting someone to do simple house tasks like washing up and setting the table. Sustaining those every day tasks that sometimes we take for granted.
At Vida Hall, there is a TV lounge, café kitchen, bar area and a selection of sitting areas which have been designed to provide a range of opportunities for socialising, taking part in activities or simply enjoying some quiet time.
There are regular activities which residents can choose to take part in if they wish, including musical entertainment, exercise classes and arts & crafts. Residents are also encouraged and supported to pursue their own interests and hobbies.
We are committed to supporting our residents to remain involved in community life. Many of our residents enjoy taking trips to the local parks, farms, gardens, cafes, library, local events, groups or places of worship.
Facilities
Gardens
Designed by Dr Garuth Chalfont, a leading expert in the creation of care environments for older people living with dementia, our courtyard gardens are a calming and peaceful space. Our philosophy connects the internal to the external, encouraging residents to maintain the health and well being created by spending time outdoors.
Visitors Welcome
Vida Hall has an ‘open door’ policy to all friends and family of our residents. We welcome your input and ideas in respect to your relatives’ care and the development of the home.
Hairdressers
Vida Hall has two separate hairdressing and beauty salons which offer our residents the opportunity to purchase the services of our in-house hairdressers, chiropodist, massage therapists and consultations with other community services.
Physiotherapy, Chiropodist & Hair Dresser

However, families are invited to utilise these services at their own discretion, please contact our team for more information.
