MOYA HEALTH AND THERAPY CENTRE |
| THERAPY The Centre is equipped to provide a range of therapies: • Oil baths • Movement Therapy • Painting/Art Therapy • Music Therapy • Counselling Some of these therapies are considered as basic health care for certain residents, especially the elderly and others with chronic conditions. Many young people who have experienced abuse and trauma have greatly benefited from the various therapies. These therapies have assisted in the process of healing which all our young residents sorely need. BRIEF HISTORY The Moya Centre concept has been alive for many years in Camphill Village. Medical and health care has always needed a specialised Centre, especially in a rural community. Moya's predecessor was accommodated in one of the houses (Grover House), which was built with medical rooms attached, where clinics and some treatments took place. Today Grover House accommodates a number of care cases, and acts also as a hospice. OTHER FEATURES Besides the facilities described above, the Moya Centre has attached to it a house (Rock Rose), intended for the caretaker or manager of the Centre. This house has been where the full-time nurse lives, and where several terminal patients have lived their last days. The whole building has a well-developed garden, with a soothing and relaxing atmosphere. STAFF At present the Centre is staffed by two part-time nurses. Two care givers are employed, based at the centre, who visit patients in the houses. A co-worker gives therapeutic oil baths on five afternoons per week. Some painting and clay modelling therapy has been given over the past year, but these therapies are restricted due to a lack of therapists and funding. |
