Bristol Charity Advent Calendar 2019, day 20: St Monica Trust

By Esther Bancroft  Thursday Dec 19, 2019

The St Monica Trust provides accommodation, care and support for older and disabled people in Bristol and surrounding counties. It specialises in pioneering accommodation solutions that enable residents to enjoy and maintain their independence.

A not-for-profit organisation, the Trust employs more than 1,200 people dedicated to providing high-quality accommodation and care for older people, including residents funded by social services.

To celebrate the festive season, the Trust partnered with the Bristol Bear’s Community Foundation’s Christmas Presence festival to combat the social isolation experienced by older people at Christmas.

The Trust has five retirement villages in Bristol and North Somerset: Cote Lane, Westbury Fields, Monica Wills House, Sandford Station and The Chocolate Quarter. It also operates four care homes, which provide nursing care, dementia care, rehabilitation and end of life care.

In 2019 they won seven awards for their care and support, including the Patient’s Choice Award for The Chocolate Quarter. The charity also featured in series one of Channel 4’s documentary Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds in 2017.
