Respite Care

Some of our residents are with us for short-term respite care after acute medical care in a hospital, where they are ready to be discharged, but are not quite well enough to manage at home on their own yet. We offer skilled, individualised rehabilitation care, nursing and associated therapies.

Nursing Home Care

Our long term residents make St Colmcilles their new home-from-home when they are no longer able to live alone, either through illness or disability. We offer best-practice medical, nursing, rehabilitation and therapeutic services in a nurturing, safe and homely environment.

We Listen. We Care.

People First

Residents are at the centre of everything we do in Mowlam Healthcare and residents and their families are at the centre of care planning. It is important to every member of our organisation that families are reassured and confident that their loved ones are receiving the very best of care. We want to help.

Led by our hearts – our team of skilled professionals, from Directors of Care, nurses and carers to catering and housekeeping are all characterised by the qualities of empathy, compassion, kindness, patience and understanding. We promote a culture of friendship and companionship in all our homes. We Listen. We Care.

Our care follows critical and clinical best practice, focussing on managing and improving long term medical condition, pain levels, mobility and maximising independence of our residents. We at all times respect the wishes of the person and very importantly, go at the pace our residents want to go at.

The Lived Experience

We are dedicated to involving residents in daily activities and therapies – cognitively stimulating, multi-sensory, physical therapy and social care – that help them feel valued, provide them with a sense of purpose and give them a sense of belonging. ‘Life Goes On’…with every comfort of home.

Health & Wellbeing

Living with Purpose

We encourage our residents to engage, enjoy, express, and live as full, independent and active a life as possible with us. Our dedicated activity coordinators and social care practitioners develop an extensive weekly calendar of activities, based on residents’ expressed preferences, and tailored to individual needs.

We provide support and stimulation through a blend of activities and therapies that enrich the body, mind and spirit. On a typical week residents enjoy music, singing and dance activities, light exercise, games, gardening, excursions, beauty pampering, and social gatherings. Residents like to spend time pursuing their own individual hobbies or interests, as well as join in on group activities in our communal and quiet lounges.

Our activities programming is designed to bring together residents, staff, family and friends – and to turn each day into an opportunity for our residents to Live With Purpose.
