COMMUNITY CARE HOMES

SETON

warley, essex

Seton is situated in the Marillac Neurological Care Centre (MNCC) near Brentwood in Essex. It was set up in 1982 to create a home for older, retired Sisters needing additional support and care. SETON is named after the American Sister of Charity Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. The care home is small, housing a maximum of ten Sisters, who come from communities located throughout the UK and abroad where they have been on mission as Daughters of Charity for most of their adult life. Seton has been registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) since January 2011.

SOUTHPORT

The Daughters of Charity have a long history in the North-West of England, so in the early 1990s, when the Provincial Council was planning the provision of care for our elderly Sisters, they wanted to stay in this part of the province. They chose the seaside town of Southport, which is flat, has a lovely promenade, several parks, excellent shopping, a large marine lake and an abundance of large houses! In 1995, a spacious property called ’Sandhurst’ became available. It was previously a nursing home and a Jewish hostel during the Second World War. In April of that year, the community bought ‘Sandhurst’, renamed it ‘St. Vincent’s’ and in, November/December of that year the first Sisters arrived. Today St. Vincent’s is officially registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for 10.

LANARK

The Daughters of Charity came to Lanark in 1860 at the invitation of Fr. Kavanagh the parish priest of St. Mary’s, and the Monteith family. The Sisters were engaged in the ministries of nursing and teaching, as well as visiting local sick and needy people. St. Catherine’s House which was on parish grounds was offered to the first four sisters for accommodation and in the early years they also ran a nursery for the children of working mothers and a junior school from these premises.

Over the next hundred years the sisters in collaboration with the Priests, the Monteith family and the local burgh were instrumental in the founding of St. Mary’s Hospital and school. The numbers of sisters sent to teach and nurse in the school and hospital as well as to visit in their own homes those in need grew to such an extent that by 1949 St. Catherine’s was full. In 1981 St. Catherine’s, by now an old building, underwent major alterations. It was partly rebuilt and extended before officially opening as a house for elderly sisters. However, by 2009 further extensive interior design, refurbishment and upgrading became necessary to meet National Care Standards.

As a Care Home, St Catherine’s continues to reflect who the sisters are. It is warm, sunny and welcoming, busy, full of life and laughter. St Catherine’s is registered with the Scottish Care Inspectorate for 10 people.
