At Nazareth House our residents are loved and cared for in a holistic way. Our activity programme has been designed by an occupational therapist which encompasses all physical, psychological and spiritual needs. This program is called ‘Life at Nazareth’. This program provides opportunities for engagement in various activities to cater for each resident’s needs, and specifically designed for each resident’s level of functioning. Activities include physical activities such as chair exercises, cognitive activities such as board games and quizzes, sensory activities such as baking and gardening, as well as spiritual activities such as hymn singing and bible studies for those who wish to attend. The ‘Life at Nazareth’ program is based on a 4 week cycle. We strive to decrease the institutionalization feel associated with care homes and encourage a home like environment through providing life, joy, and spontaneity of various activities for our residents. All of our staff believe in this approach and embrace it in each activity they do.
