Curam Care Home Dundalk

Creating a home is at the heart of what we do

Curam Care Home Dundalk was established in 2001. The Home initially had 30 bedrooms but in 2004, a 20 bedroom extension was opened. Further minor expansions brought us to a capacity of 50 beds. In response to the demographic changes occurring in Ireland and the increasing demand for nursing home beds, a further 32 bedrooms and associated ancillary facilities were added on in 2016 bringing our current capacity to 82 beds. Curam Care Home purchased the then Dealgan House in July 2021 and were delighted to bring within our family.

Curam Care Home Dundalk provides a range of homely sitting and dining rooms for the enjoyment of our residents. A number of larger rooms will accommodate the weekly mass, Christmas parties, the annual art exhibition and other special events.

The aims and objectives of Curam Care Home Dundalk are to

• Provide a home from home which will ensure a welcoming and homely environment to residents, their relatives and friends.

Facilities of Curam Care Home Dundalk

The purpose-built home provides a range of bedrooms, sitting rooms and dining areas suitable to the varying needs of our residents. It is constructed on a spacious, 4 acre site on the western outskirts of Dundalk. The first phase was built around a central garden which is attractively landscaped and contains walkways, benches for sitting out, a variety of plants and shrubs, bird tables and a water feature. When the weather permits, our residents love to sit out in the courtyard to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. The extension currently underway will provide a second enclosed space which is being developed as a sensory garden.

The extension is comprised of the Tain Suite which has 15 bedrooms, sitting and dining facilities and a kitchenette, and the Sonas Suite, a Memory Loss Unit with 17 bedrooms and all the required facilities. Both suites operate as self-contained households led by a Homemaker. Residents of the Sonas Suite have access to the sensory garden in which they can relax or cultivate plants in raised beds.

A large function room was also built as part of the extension and provides space for events such as Church Services, the annual art exhibition, Christmas Parties and any other major functions.

Curam Care Home Dundalk caters for all categories of people of both genders and with all levels of dependencies. Our registration allows us accommodate anyone over the age of 18, but the majority of our residents are over 65 and most are significantly older.

To ensure the care provided is planned to meet individual needs, detailed assessments are undertaken on admission. Based on these assessment, a nurse and the resident or resident’s representative, devise a care plan, setting out objectives and realistic goals. This provides direction to care staff and will ensure that the care we are providing assists the resident to achieve his/her full potential.

Care plans are reviewed following feedback from the resident or in response to any changes in their personal needs or circumstances. As a minimum, care plans are reviewed every four months in consultation with the resident.
