Day Clinic Service
The Day Clinic aims to provide services for residents at St. Vincent de Paul Long-term care Facility, which are normally provided as an out-patient service from other hospitals. Such services include the Ophthalmic, Psychiatric, Gynaecology, Dermatology, Vascular and Pace Maker Clinics. Phlebotomy and ECG Service are provided from the Day Clinic as well as Speciality Clinic 1 (Treatment Room), as well as Respite and Pre-Admission Clinics. The Day Clinic also serves as a staging Unit from the National Blood Bank. These services ensure a more holistic approach to our residents. Apart from services to our residents, the day clinic also caters for employee health and well-being.
Portering Services
The Portering Section at SVP aims to enhance the quality of service given to the elderly by supporting the SVP staff while caring for the residents. The Unit is manned by a number of employees and they are mainly involved in escorting residents/clients to clinics for a given service as may be required. The Portering section assists both SVP residents and outside clients in making use of the diverse clinics available at SVP.
Social Work Services
The service focuses on the psycho-social needs of our clients while assuring their well-being. The social worker serves as a point of reference to clients and their carers and assists them to adapt to the new environment. The social worker identifies problems of a psycho-social nature faced by clients independently or together with their families, motivates them to cope with their social problems whilst continuing to live an active and independent life.
