Nursing Homes Ireland

  Nursing home or retirement villages are accommodation for the people who are battling through the certain conditions and unable to take care of themselves. It is usually needed for the people who are somewhere in between being in the hospital and not well enough to manage at home alone.

Ireland has 460 nursing homes nationwide. These communities are growing with the time and now only trained professionals are hired to take care of the people in need.

  The mandatory services which a nursing home provide besides 24/7 assistance are physical therapy, speech therapy, memory care or dementia care.
There are particular standards that need to be followed in nursing particularly in Ireland and more or less around the globe as well.

• Individual Centered Care and Support 

                                                      

   Every individual must be treated according to their certain needs. Not everyone in the place requires the same amount of care and that should be taken into consideration.

   Their concerns should be acted upon in a timely and effective manner. Link to the community should be in accordance with their wishes. 

•  Effective Services

    Each resident needs to have their own care plan. They should be taken care of 24/7 to give them the homely feeling and there should be a certain amount of privacy with every individual to respect their dignity and autonomy.

• Safe Services

    Every individual must be safeguarded from neglect and abuse. Proper policy management for everyone is a must and personal belongings and finances should be kept private and taken care of.

• Health and Wellbeing

    There should be different and effective activity plans for every individual that meets their certain needs and preferences. These supports should be for their physical and mental wellbeing.

• Leadership and Management

    The quality of care being provided should be monitored, reviewed and if there is any scope of improvement, it should be improved.
