Our Home

Purpose-built and dedicated to the needs of people living with dementia, St Catherines View offers the charm of Winchester life alongside features carefully designed to stimulate memory and enjoyment. With its warm and relaxed atmosphere, it truly is a home from home for our residents and their families.

St Catherines View is part of Colten Care, an independent and family-run company determined to set the highest standards in all aspects of care for the elderly. With our simple, all-inclusive pricing structure, there are no hidden extras or non-refundable deposits.

Why you should only consider a care home dedicated to dementia:

• Our entire team, including the professional nurses, benefit from extensive and specific dementia training
• In our home, dementia is 'normal' and all individuals are respected
• The companionship, activities and trips-out programme is designed specifically around those living with dementia
• The interior and exterior environments have been carefully designed to remove the anxieties created by 'non-dementia friendly' environments

Fiona Pritchard is our new Music and Arts Partner, a role we introduced in February 2018 to help support our homes with their music and arts activities.

Whether it be through storytelling, singing, drama, writing poetry, dance, music and movement, colour therapy, collage work, puppetry, digital art apps, or games using mime, we are now able to ensure each resident has the opportunity to explore the many ways in which music and arts can have a positive impact upon their lives and enrich their wellbeing.

Admiral Nurses are specialist dementia care nurses who give expert practical, clinical and emotional support to families facing the challenges of dementia, as well as continuously monitoring and reviewing the care we provide across both clinical needs (such as nutrition and medication) and social well-being (such as meaningful activities).

Our Garden

We pride ourselves on our beautiful and stimulating gardens. We recognise that many of our residents had such gardens themselves, and that gardening may have been a special pastime for them. We like to think that we can offer residents the opportunity to continue that pastime in whatever way they feel appropriate.

Publications

Elaine Farrer, our Operations Director, has written an article for Nursing Times exploring how to live well with dementia:

Dementia shouldn't be a barrier to living well
Can living well with dementia actually be achieved? I know it can, but only if you allow the person to actually live with dementia.
