Larchfield Park Care Centre was founded by the Dillon family on the principles of world-class elderly care and community and we remain true to these values in this time of emergency.

Our nursing home will always be our priority and we will be focused on the safety and wellbeing of our residents and their loved ones and our staff at all times. We are committed to the highest standards of care. Since the Covid-19 crisis began to emerge we have been liaising closely with our staff and the relevant health authorities.  Some of the measures we are taking to reduce the risks in our nursing home include:

We have a dedicated Emergency Led Team closely monitoring and following the guidance from the HSE and Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC). We commit to regular and proactive communication with our residents and staff as the situation evolves

Our staff are wearing gloves, aprons, and masks for all interactions with residents deemed at risk

Residents are encouraged to self-isolate and remain in their bedrooms as much as possible

Our staff are fully trained in all the required infection control measures

All resident’s temperature, pulse, and respiratory rates are monitored daily, or more often if required, to help identify early indicators of Covid-19

Our GP Dr Michael McNiff will be onsite when necessary for further monitoring and is on call 24 hours a day

Our nursing home is divided into wings, and the staff are designated into a wing where they will remain throughout their shift to help prevent the risk of any cross infection

There is a comprehensive cleaning schedule in place for all areas

Out of respect for the privacy of those in our care, and their families, we don’t comment on the health condition of any of our residents over the telephone.

Let’s take care of ourselves, and each other, in these uncertain times.

Stay Safe

Sara Dillon, Managing Director/Person in Charge
