Programmes
Our friendly, well-trained staff provide a 24-hour service and are committed to working towards the best possible outcome for each resident. Sarona staff use the Recovery Star programme to form the basis of the residents' personalised recovery. This allows close monitoring of their progress. Programmes: The Programmes have been developed to meet the needs of individual residents, promoting the skills and self-confidence needed for independence. They cover: Personal: Self-care, cooking, housekeeping, gardening, nutrition and exercise. Self development: self-awareness and esteem; personal development sessions and spiritual growth; hobbies, informal study of personal interests, care of domestic animals. A professional artist tutors weekly, and guest speakers inform residents of supports available in the wider community. Employment and education: we work with agencies to connect residents into voluntary and part time work in the community. Recreational opportunities: arts and crafts, indoor and outdoor games, social outings, swimming and walking. Activities: Sarona offers residents the opportunity to participate in a weekly group programme of constructive activities. The programme is reviewed and renewed 4 times per year with input from residents.
