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.
We’d like to express our warm appreciation to the staff of St Theresa’s for the standard of personal and professional care and attention they provided for our Mam during her time there earlier this year. From the initial transition into St Theresa’s, the attention and reassurance they constantly provided made us very comfortable that we’d made the right choice. This period was a very challenging time for us and for our very independent minded mother and the staff made the transition seamless and the experience positive.
In particular we’d like to commend all the staff for their flexibility and responsiveness in meeting our Mam’s needs as well as in reassuring us. In doing this we were continually struck by the genuine one to one personal attention our Mam received. While demonstrating a level of skill and professionalism they maintained a warmth and friendliness that really made an impression. We’re very happy to recommend St Theresa’s on the basis of this experience particularly with the staff members.
Thanks and warm wishes to all at St. Theresa’s.
Eddie, Charlie, Clara, Rosarie O’Neill.
