The management and governance of Castleross Nursing & Convalescent Centre is directed by a team of dedicated and committed members of staff who continually strive to raise standards of care and continuously improve where and how we do things

The Vision

Castleross Nursing & Convalescent Centre is owned by Grace Healthcare Ireland and managed by expert team, where our vision is simple; to preserve the dignity, individuality and privacy of the people who live here, in a manner that is sensitive to their ever-changing needs. We are committed to providing high quality safe services while also endeavouring to improve each person's quality of life.

The Beginning

Initial construction work started at in 2002 for a 46-bed traditional home. However, as demand for extra beds remained constant it was not long until Castleross grew to a capacity of 70 beds, 19 of which were reserved for our Alzheimer's and dementia specialised care.

From 2009 to present both ourselves and the centre have undergone a mammoth transformation in both culture and structure, something we are incredibly proud of.

The Environment
