Rathgar Care Home

This care home is exceptional. When my father arrived there I honestly thought we wouldn't see him home again but they have worked with him, they have listened to him and he is now in a better physical condition than he's been for many years. He's now looking forward to coming home.

Choosing a home was a difficult task, but when speaking with the manager at Rathgar, we knew that's where we wanted our family member to go. The staff are great and show empathy towards all residents. They have a great activated schedule with lots going on. We are glad we found Rathgar Care Home.

My Mother had been a resident at Rathgar for a few years and unfortunately passed away last year. I felt I needed to pass on my huge gratitude for the love and support she received whilst in the care of the team there. It gave us peace of mind and made her life very comfortable - Thank you.

An elderly friend of mine had become unable to remain at home so she was admitted into Rathgar. When I visit I witness the staff being very attentive towards all the residents, it always seems like they have a genuine care towards them. Staff are always so welcoming and friendly, it's like one big happy family and my friend has improved so much even in the short space of time of being there. Keep up the good work!

The care home is also well taken care of too. It is clean and has a great quality of facilities. Would definitely recommend it to others.

Rathgar has been nothing more than amazing, the level of care and comfort they provided my dear father was nothing but excellent. He was looked after so well right to the end. Honestly would recommend this care home to anyone seeking to put their family member here. Thank you all at Rathgar.

When my sister had to go into a home due to needing 24-hour care I was devastated as we used to go everywhere together it was like my right arm was cut off, but since going to Rathgar the staff could not do anymore for her. Tending to her every need and making me very welcome every time I visit and I also join in with the activities, it probably won't be long for me to go into a home and I very much want to go to Rathgar.

I have been delighted with the care, empathy, compassion, and understanding shown by Rathgar Care Home and in particular the manager in relation to arranging a position for an elderly uncle at very short notice within the past month. The manager facilitated a visit and I was impressed by the friendliness, ambience, and welcoming environment there and their positive approach towards providing the very best experience for their residents.

I would definitely recommend Rathgar to anyone wanting personalised individual care for their relative.

Well I have only 1 month experience as my mother has just arrived there but so far no complaint from me. I feel the staff are all very nice and they play lovely music and do nice things to keep them entertained, my mother has settled in very well so happy daughter.

The management and the Rathgar team have been absolutely fantastic with my great aunt, I genuinely cannot fault them. The care they provide and their communication with us are exactly what we need when looking for a home. We're happy to have made the right choice as it can be unnerving making such a big decision. We are just happy to have picked the right home! Thanks, Rathgar.

My Aunt has been at Rathgar for over 3 years now. Finding a home during lockdown was scary. As soon as I called Rathgar I knew this would be the place where my Aunt would be well cared for. All these years later and I am still so happy with the care and attention my Aunt receives. I live a long way from Rathgar but I am kept up to date at all times with any changes regarding my Aunt's health. This is a great comfort to me knowing I am far away. I don't worry about my Aunt as I know she is in safe hands.

I'm really pleased and lucky to have such a dedicated and caring team looking after her.

Rathgar has now been home to my mum for 3 years. The staff are all outstanding and it is reassuring to me that Mum is happy there. The meals are good, activities are organised i.e. pets are brought in to pet and stimulate the residents, dancers, singers... along with boat trips etc... It was a heart-rending decision to place Mum in a home, she needed 24/7 care we just couldn't provide. She has never once complained about any staff member and is on the whole happy. When she isn't it is to do with the dementia and not the home. It is a relief to know Mum is cared for so well, thank you Rathgar.

Mum's room is perfect for her, very comfortable and bright with a very handy and smart bathroom. She has made some friends already and enjoys sitting out in the garden under the parasols. We looked at 7 other care homes and Rathgar just felt right (Mum's words and ours).

Mum has been at Rathgar for three years now and is very happy with the care and help she receives. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and Mum only has good words to say about the home. We are always updated with what is going on in the home, and I am personally looking forward to the boat trip on the 1st of August. Mum always looks clean, well-fed and happy.

My mother has dementia, now in its final stages. She has been a resident at Rathgar since 2020 when a fall at home and a hospital stay during Covid left her incapable of returning home to live independently. Since she took up residency at Rathgar, I cannot praise the care she has received highly enough. The kindness and attention she has had from staff over 4 years has carefully and thoughtfully supported her inevitable decline at every stage, constantly being modified and customised to suit her needs. They kept her engaged with the everyday life of the home for as long as possible and, by their efforts, I have no doubt they extended her active life. Now as the dementia has rendered her incapable of those activities, they continue to care for her in a diligent, respectful and patient manner that speaks volumes for the professionalism of the staff. Rathgar may not be the largest of residential homes, but it is a warm and loving home, and I will always be eternally grateful.

Mum needed emergency respite for 2 weeks. My sisters and I were so pleased with the level of care and kindness that she received at Rathgar. Special thanks to the manager and two other staff members in particular for their professionalism.

Mum has been living at Rathgar very happily for 2 years. All the members of staff are very friendly approachable and knowledgeable in their roles. The activities lady is very caring and a fun addition in the lounge area where the residents gather for varied entertainment throughout the week. There are regular updates via telephone or in person on Mum's well being.

My mum has dementia and has been at Rathgar residential care home for just over 6 months. When she arrived she was frail and not doing too well, the change in her is amazing, like she has a new lease of life, and the care and support she has received are outstanding. The care staff are fantastic.
