Tralee Rest Home

My family has been incredibly impressed by the compassionate care given by the entire Tralee staff to my elderly brother and to every resident. They respect the wishes of each individual, but are alert to the early signs of discomfort and recognise significant changes in well-being. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who are kind, cheerful and seemed always to have a welcoming smile for visiting relatives. In the absence of visits, we phone for news of my brother and are greeted with that same friendliness. When it has been necessary, communication from Tralee about him (e.g. an illness) has been given with sympathy and without fuss. We have seen on Facebook some amazingly innovative activities to sustain mental welfare in these challenging times. It is quite clear that the residents enjoy themselves, as do the staff! Credit must be given to the manager for her forward-thinking/planning and the leadership she gives to the staff in every department. Thank you, Tralee!

What else can I say, we are just so pleased that my brother is cared for by these very special people. They have been especially great during Covid restrictions with no covid related illnesses at all.

My dad initially went to Tralee for respite; he is now a full-time resident. He has severe vascular dementia. His life has grown in ways that we never thought possible, thanks to the manager and her dedicated staff. Life at Tralee is fun and stimulating, and my dad is a prime example of their excellent work.

The residents are kept entertained with an endless variety of activities, they’ve celebrated, danced, sung and crafted through these difficult times, and I feel grateful that my husband is with such lovely, kind people.

Since my mother-in-law moved into Tralee earlier this year the manager and her staff have gone out of their way to make her feel welcome and to keep us involved in her care. My mother-in-law appears much happier and settled than she was prior to her moving in. The staff are so caring and there is a lovely atmosphere in the home. Staff have a good knowledge of the resident’s life history and hobbies, they use this to plan a wide range of activities and have kept the residents well entertained during the lockdown. I would not hesitate to recommend Tralee to anyone looking to move into a care home.

I would recommend Tralee without hesitation.

I have been very impressed with the care my relative has received. The staff go above and beyond, especially during this difficult time. It is a huge relief to all of us that they are so happy I cannot praise the staff enough.

I think that the cleanliness and warmth of the home make it a welcoming environment for patients and visitors alike.

The trauma of placing a loved one into a care home is a devastating experience but Tralee has gone that extra mile on so many occasions. The guvnor, as my dad calls her, is the best and her staff are brilliant in the care and love they give the inmates, as my dad calls them. I am sure we will have hiccups along the way but I am also certain that they will be dealt with efficiently and with kindness, care and love. A big, big thank you.

I have been at Tralee for a week and I am really enjoying it here. The staff are lovely and I love the music and dancing. Tralee is a happy place to be.

I moved in, in February 2018. I have enjoyed every second of it. I have decorated my room exactly how I liked it. My sister visits often and is made to feel very welcome. The staff are excellent and always up for a sing-song. I complained that my Zimmer was boring so they decorated it and even put a glitterball on it because I love to dance. I am so happy that I found Tralee, it is my home from home.

My husband has been a resident of Tralee care home for 5 months now, and in that time he has been treated with care and compassion. That care and compassion has also been extended to myself. There is a wonderful family feel to the home. I would recommend the home to anyone without reservation. All the staff work very hard and keep a friendly, approachable attitude at all times.

I feel very fortunate that my husband and I found Tralee.

All staff are very kind and have lots of patience. Staff are very obliging. We can walk around the home and go to my mother's room when I want to. When I phone, its never too much trouble to answer my questions about my Mum. Nothing seems too much bother. My Mum appears to be settled and enjoys the interaction from staff and fellow residents. The Manager is around for us to talk to and has made my mother's transition into a care home a good experience.

We are very lucky to have found such a wonderful home for my Mother where the staff are so engaging and kind. This afternoon was yet another opportunity for music, singing and dancing, a real party atmosphere, this followed by party food. This afternoon was in support of a Cancer Charity when Staff, Clients and Visitors dressed in Pink including pink wigs. The staff worked so hard to make sure that everyone had a really happy and good time. We were all encouraged to join in and it was so wonderful to witness this. Thank you.

Since my grandad moved to Tralee he has made friends and has become a lot more sociable. I was worried about dementia because you only hear the bad things, but Tralee is a lively, happy place and the staff answer any questions that I have. I am impressed with the improvement in my Grandad. He now has a purpose in life. He even helps the handyman with little jobs. I can't find any faults. I enjoy visiting Tralee.

Caring, considerable, lovely attitude to all of the residents. I feel that my husband is being extremely well cared for in every respect.

Lovely rest home, lovely people.

My mother-in-law has been looked after and is now looking a lot better and is putting on weight and seems very happy.

I have every confidence in the care provided. The staff at the home manage my husband splendidly. He always looks neat and tidy and he is really well cared for. The staff are all lovely and will speak to me about any concerns I may have. The manager's door is always open.

The staff treat my mum as if she is one of their family. Always cheerful and very caring.
