Occupancy/ Resident profile: (Residents)
The Registered Service Provider and the Person in Charge of St Theresa’s ensures that the maximum number of Residents cared for in the Nursing Home, and the maximum number of Residents to be accommodated in the Nursing Home does not exceed the number of 40 Residents for which St Theresa’s is registered with the Health Information and Quality Authority.
St Theresa’s Nursing Home offers 24 hour Nursing care for both male and female Residents over the age of 18 years who may require care for conditions such as but not exclusive to Long term Residential Care, Short-term Respite Care, Palliative Care, Physical Disability, Dementia Care, Post-Surgery, i.e. those in need of admission to a Nursing Home for their individual care needs to be met for either physical or social reasons.
St Theresa’s Nursing Home is not an acute unit and where Residents are deemed beyond our scope of care, they are transferred to an appropriate unit or hospital as agreed by the Resident/Next of Kin and their Doctor.
A Day-Care facility is also available for those who wish to avail of such a service. Their physical and social needs can be catered for as outlined by them as with our long stay Residents. Each Day-Care person will be allocated a room to use during their day with us and hence our numbers will remain within the agreed maximum of 40 Residents for the Nursing Home as outlined with HIQA at Registration. Staffing levels are adjusted accordingly to cater for day care Residents needs.
My mother has resided at St Theresa’s Nursing Home for a few years and is so content, she has enough freedom but also the care and attention of the nurses and carers within the home. They are very patient and make a fuss of her on birthdays, and with being out of the country it is really nice to know she's being taken care of. My dad also spent time at the home prior to passing and he really enjoyed the interactions he had with the staff and was comfortable in a situation which was hard for him when losing his independence. They also dealt with his passing very professionally. I have no worries about my mother and would recommend St Theresa's to anyone considering placing their loved ones here. All the staff and, Mrs Grogan make it a pleasure to visit it’s like home away from home. Thank you Mrs Grogan for everything you do for my mum and all the support you give me. M.C.
