RATHFRILAND MANOR NURSING HOME

Rathfriland Manor was initially twenty seven bedded bright and purpose built Nursing Home.  The Home provides nursing care for long term Resident’s, resident’s who require respite or day care with needs varying from minimal support and assistance to total nursing care.  Rathfriland Manor is currently undergoing a refurbishment / extension.  This will enable it to accommodate 53 residents.

 

Facilities

The Home composes of twenty seven beds each room with a nurse call system and fitted for television and telephone and ensuite.  There are two spacious lounges, a dining room, conservatory and landscaped gardens for Residents to enjoy and socialise with their families.

Our catering team ensure Resident’s enjoy a varied diet available of local produce to cater for special dietary requirements and individual choice.

It is anticipated that when the home is completed (August 2010) that we shall open a Dementia wing to meet the needs of resident's who have Dementia.  This has been designed with the Dementia Centre NI.
