St Lukes home were delighted to play host to a group of 22 business students and their professors from Caldwell University, New Jersey, USA. Their day in Cork consisted of a trip to Janssen which included a tour of the plant and a presentation from the general manager, Kyran Johnson on the operation and business issues of the day. This was followed by a visit and tour of the St Lukes facility. David O Brien, CEO, gave the group an insight into how Ireland looks after its older generation in terms of nursing home care along with a history of St Lukes and how we have arrived at where we are today. Dr. Catherine Buckley, Practice Development Lecturer at St Lukes talked to the students about dementia, which is the 6th largest cause of death in the USA and is well recognised as a global issue of the day.
