At St Martins Care, we are dedicated to providing personalised care for all residents, and that includes their beloved pets 🐾

Whenever possible, we support residents in moving in with their pets. Over the years, we’ve even welcomed several rescue dogs into our homes.

Pets truly make a house a home, bringing joy and comfort to everyone who lives, works, or visits our care homes.

Whilst there is no guaranteed way to prevent Dementia, adopting these healthy lifestyle changes can reduce your risk in developing Dementia.

A healthy lifestyle can also improve your quality of life and prevent cardiovascular diseases and other health complications.

When we have residents with us on respite, our priority is making sure they have a safe and healthy return home 🏡

Whether it is to support a resident after their stay in hospital, or to support their friends and family in taking a break from being the care provider, our respite care is tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of a person.

At St Martins Care, we love seeing residents return home, even if it is bittersweet to say goodbye!

Shout Out to St Martins Care!🎉

We love delivering Seated Dance, Mindful Movement, and Physical Activity Games every week across all St Martin’s Care homes, from Newcastle to Guisborough!

It’s amazing to see care homes being proactive about their residents’ health, helping them stay mobile for longer while boosting mental health and social wellbeing.

We’re proud to have worked with St Martin’s for several years, including training some of their care staff through our Laughter Yoga courses via our training branch ActivCare Training, helping staff bring more fun and wellbeing into daily care.
