Person Centred Care
Nursing care is led by our Clinical Nurse Managers at many levels. Staff nurses, care staff and activity staff all play vital roles in the delivery of patient centred care. Through a collaborative care approach, the multidisciplinary team strive to maintain resident’s dignity, respect, and the highest standard of individualised holistic care possible. The quality of this care is assured by continuous quality improvement. Various stakeholders including practice development and the quality continuous improvement manager, align to support the delivery of this care. Our service is benchmarked in line with national standards, set against the Health Information Quality Authority (HIQA), and the National Standards for Residential Care Settings for Older People in Ireland. Reinforcement for a person-centred approach, is supported by SAGE, in providing the vital element of external advocacy.

DISH has given the residents more control over their diet including temperature of food, adding personalised recipes to menus and times the meals are served. Visitors allowed to dine with relatives in residents own room or in the Paddocks cafe, shared lounge or in the beautiful courtyard and gardens.
