Nursing
At Saint James Nursing Home we focus on the individual’s independence, so that, as much as possible, residents have control over their daily life through individual choice, maintaining independence, and being treated with respect.
The amount of care necessary for each person varies. Therefore, care plans are drawn up with the resident, his/her family and doctor to provide the best possible care, according to each individual’s needs, ensuring a trusting relationship, confidentiality and continuity of care.
The different categories of care we offer are as follows:
| · Short term care for convalescence (after an illness or hospitalisation) |
| · Short term care for respite (when family or carers need a break or to go abroad) |
| · Long term care for rehabilitation (after an operation, stroke .) |
| · Long term care as permanent residence |
| · Terminal & palliative care (e.g cancer) |
Philosophy of Care
We are motivated
| · To focus on the holistic approach when caring for residents. |
| · To create a home with physical, emotional and spiritual support for those who have left their personal home. |
| · To enhance the abilities of the older person. |
| · To facilitate and encourage rehabilitation. |
| · To minimize, and where possible, eliminate completely, excessive disability and dependence. |
The residence houses a qualified team of nurses on a 24-hour basis. A medical doctor is always available at Saint James Hospital Sliema, which is interconnected to the residence.
