Respite Care

Respite Care is the term used for services designed to give you a break from caring.

There are two single rooms with ensuite bathrooms located on our Dementia unit, Maguire House. Respite Care is funded by the HSE and can be accessed through the Public Health Nurses (PHNs)

Once Respite Care has been scheduled at St Luke’s Home, our policy is to carry out a nursing assessment in St. Luke’s Home for people who are referred to our respite service for the first time. We are keen to personalise the experience of respite for the person with dementia and their family as much as possible.
