Comfortable facilities are an important aspect of a patient’s stay and we have done all we can to identify an environment that is tranquil, homely and suitable for the joint therapy and living needs. Situated away from the coast in a semi-rural area, balconied bedrooms and terraces offer unimpeded views across the coastal plain with the sea visible away in the distance. Although the therapy is the most important aspect of your stay we have recognised the importance of giving you nothing to complain about thus enabling you to devote all of your time to getting well. We don’t have fluffy white towels and monogrammed
bathrobes but you can have clean towels whenever you want them. We are not 5 star luxury but we are homely.
The grounds at Nova Vida offer many suitable spots for quiet contemplation or gentle walks in the most serene of environments. The grounds also offer space to engage in experiential work as a break from the talking therapy that dominates the programme. With the benefits of the long warm summers much of the time outside of therapy is spent out of the house and suitable comfortable garden furniture allows those who to stay with us to seek out the shade as well as the sun.
The accommodation is modern, spacious and cool in summer and warm in winter. The double occupancy bedrooms are large and well-furnished and each has a very spacious en suite bathroom. All the bedrooms are air conditioned for those summer nights when temperatures would otherwise make sleep difficult. Therapy takes place on a dedicated floor within the house with separate group room, lecture room and art room.
Patients come to Nova Vida to get help with their illness and facilitating that help is our strength but being away from home for a month can be counter-productive in a sterile clinical environment. We have therefore strived to provide a homely environment and an environment in which you can become involved [within the constraints of health and safety] if you wish. Don’t worry we employ a housekeeper and a cook so you won’t be asked to do the cooking or cleaning. Many of our patients returning to Nova Vida for the annual reunion or for a renewal weekend talk about “coming home”. That puts a smile on our faces as it is exactly the environment we have tried to create.
The Residence is equipped with a swimming pool, recreational area, beautiful gardens and a quiet lounge
and it is the perfect environment in which to continue the therapy with peers and to work on the individual assignments set as part of the programme. Of course there is always a nurse on duty at the Residence
to ensure you are kept safe and well.
