Meet the Team
Under the supervision of our Proprietor Maureen Healy RGN and Person in Charge Patricia MacGabhann RGN. BSc (Hons), H Dip Gerontology, MSc, MHSc Specialist Nursing (Gerontology) we have a dedicated team of registered nurses, senior and junior carers.
Staff are selected for their keen interest in, and commitment to care of the older person. The dignity, rights and choice of the older person underpin the caring work of our team.
Under the careful supervision of our Person in Charge are our team of registered nurses, who in turn are responsible for the quality of care delivered by staff working with them.
A senior and junior carer structure has been established to acknowledge and suitably reward those dedicated carers whose work is exemplary. They have been able to demonstrate their skill and dedication primarily to the older person within their care and secondly to the ethos 'striving for excellence' that has always been the motto of the home.
A registered nurse is on duty at all times and is available to answer queries from other staff members, residents and relatives.
All staff demonstrate a commitment to regular training and professional development to ensure their clinical skills and general care of the older person is up to date. Our care staff have all undertaken Fetac Care of the Older Person training successfully.
