OUR PHILOSOPHY OF CARE

At Vida Healthcare we are committed to providing the highest quality care for people living with dementia.

Long Term Nursing Dementia Care

Each of our residents receives care that is completely tailored to their needs and lifestyle, delivered by a highly-skilled, dedicated and compassionate team.

Our care is ‘person-centred’, which means we take the time to get to know our residents and support them as individuals. By learning about family and friends, hobbies and interests, likes and dislikes, we can make meaningful connections, helping people to feel at home and at ease.

We are passionate about providing the most effective care. We do this by keeping up to date with the latest research and findings in dementia care, as well as drawing on the high level of expertise we have in house. A key part of our approach to care, involves championing the use of alternative therapies over anti psychotic medications wherever possible to help improve well-being.

All Vida Healthcare staff receive ongoing training to ensure they have the specialist skills they need to provide effective, quality care.

We have created four dedicated living spaces within Vida Hall which cater to our residents needs, promoting a thoroughly holistic approach to dementia care.

Houses

Vida Hall offers a range of care options across four houses, including residential dementia care, nursing dementia care, complex dementia care as well as respite stays. Vida Hall opened in 2013 and was awarded a rating of ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission i n 2014 for the innovative design and exceptional care provided. There are 70 en-suite bedrooms, divided into four smaller houses.
