The St Monica Trust is a Bristol-based charity which has been helping older people in our region since 1925. They are committed to communities where older people flourish. They have established a long-standing reputation for delivering exceptional care and support in their retirement villages and care homes, by providing opportunities for their residents to enjoy treasured relationships, exercise choice and feel valued. They call these their three Cs - Connection, Contribution and Choice.
They now have five care villages, all of which are purpose built to the highest standards and all of which are "havens". Each care village is a vibrant community of older people, mostly living independently in their own flats, and four of them include care homes with specialist dementia facilities. You will see that The St Monica Trust is delighted to present plans for the final piece of the development at The Chocolate Quarter. The Trust has been granted planning permission for the addition of 44 assisted living apartments, and construction is scheduled to finish in late 2025.
