Activities

At Slieve Dhu Nursing Home, we work hard on making the environment a ‘home away from home’. Our number one priority is the health and welfare of all our residents.  We have a dedicated Activity Coordinator on site five days a week and during special holiday celebrations throughout the year. She works hard to meet the entertainment needs of the residents, planning tailored daily activities for everyone to enjoy.

This timetable is updated on a regular basis.  Here is a taste of what is currently on offer:
