One of the first private sector, purpose built Nursing Homes with Day Care and Communal Facilities in Clonakilty, Co Cork
The single storey 46 No en-suite bedroom facility, including 4 double rooms and a self-contained 14 bed high dependency dementia care unit, are arranged in a number of wings around landscaped courtyards, to provide visual seasonal interest to residents of limited mobility.
By grouping bedrooms in rooms of 15 bedrooms or so, corridor lengths could be kept short, with scattered window seating areas providing regular social stopping points, as well as welcome visual breaks into the courtyards in the circulation system.
In addition social, activity and day facilities hare provided along with therapy and treatment rooms, with the single storey height allowing higher vaulted ceilings to these areas.
