About us
A heritage in Greek care
Grace of Mary and St. Andrew’s Hostels, are the pride of our Community.
Our homes nurture an atmosphere of relaxed social interaction and stimulating communication, all of which promote laughter and conversation, and evoke feelings of mutual respect, fun, and a purposeful existence. Our aim, and focus, has always been, to enhance residents’ quality of life through meaningful activities and positive experiences.
Set in a buzzing Greek atmosphere and surrounded by olive, orange and lemon trees; our homes are welcoming and aesthetically pleasing, ensuring residents feel as if they are in their own home.
Our holistic approach to care, where all aspects of our services are integrated and centred around the individual and their heritage, recognises the therapeutic implications on both mind and body, and their intimate interconnections.
Our staff and volunteers, understand the importance of cultural differences, thus, our care is person-centred and built around the ethos of celebrating life, culture, and individuality. We see it as a privilege to be trusted by you, with the care of your loved one.
