OSJCT St Wilfrid's Priory Care Home

We've taken the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of residents.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

The home has been designed with wellbeing and comfort in mind. Cosy lounges are available to relax in, as are secure gardens to take advantage of on sunny days.

St Wilfrid’s Arundel Priory offers a delightful home environment split across two floors. The private bed-sitting rooms take advantage of the stunning views and offers a peaceful oasis. The home offers large comfortable homely living areas with stunning views of the historic castle and gardens, where residents can join in with the wide range of activities taking place on a daily basis.

Each room offers an en-suite private bed-sitting room, an emergency 24 hour call system, ensuite shower rooms and plenty of space for residents personalise rooms.

Each room is furnished with a single bed with bedding included, wardrobe, chest of drawers, armchair, bedside table, carpet, sink and sink unit, and curtains.

Whether it’s wet or dry outside, we at OSJCT feel that activities are essential in providing the best caring environment to live in.

Hobbies don’t simply stop when living with us at St Wilfrid’s Priory. We have a dedicated Activities Co-ordinator who works closely with our residents to create a programme of fulfilling activities and events, tailored around each resident’s requests, hobbies and interests. The programme of events and activities provide a source of fun and laughter, to help each resident live their life to the full and make new friendships.

We are also fortunate to have the support of many volunteers of all ages from the local community, strengthening our links to this thriving market town. Here is a sample of activities on offer:

• Trips to garden centres, cafés, pubs, sporting events, National Trust parks, wildlife parks, aquariums and museums.
• Visit from Pets as Therapy Dogs
• Exercise and wellness activities, for example Seated Yoga, Zumba
• Fun activities with ‘Messy Miniatures’, the local toddler group
• Board game competitions and quizzes
• Music therapy sessions
• Gardening
• Arts and crafts
• Communal Church services

With so many well-being activities for body and mind on offer, we also recognise that everyone needs some personal space for relaxation and mindfulness for personal reflection. The cosy lounges offer an opportunity for some quiet time or to host family and friends.

And that’s not all:

We’ve had silent discos, hoe downs, Chinese banquets, Oscar parties and so much more.

Many of the activities feature Reminiscence Therapy to aid those living with Dementia to remember events, people and places using sight, touch, taste, smell and sound.
