GalleryCork Nursing Home Resident Celebrated A Very Happy 100th Birthday Thanks To A Very Special Guest
Mary O’Sullivan’s family were not able to be with her when she reached the milestone at St Luke’s Home in Mahon yesterday due to visitor restrictions, but that didn’t stop staff from making it a birthday to remember.

St Luke’s Home employs 220 staff and has 128 beds available for residents.
New guidance introduced in recent weeks means that masks must now be worn by all healthcare workers caring for residents, regardless of whether or not the patient may have Covid-19.
