My mum has really settled at Hourigan House. She enjoys taking part in the numerous activities and has made a number of friends. The staff are so helpful and caring, nothing is too much trouble. Any issues we have raised due to Mum's mobility management and staff have gone above and beyond to put things in place to make Mum's day to day needs more accessible. We can now spend more quality time with our mum, knowing she is afe and well cared for when we can't be there.

The staff go above and beyond their everyday duties, nothing is too much trouble for all the residents and their families. Always have a smile on their faces. My mother-in-law had withdrawn before coming to live at Hourigan House. She is now joining in with residents and staff. They treat her with dignity, respect and she is now happy and smiling.
Thank you for your kind words, we are so happy that you feel like this. We strive to make Hourigan House a welcoming place and make you feel welcomed like you would be if coming into your mum's home.

Mum had always been reluctant to go into a care home however in late 2022 we were left with no choice. The staff have been fantastic with Mum since the day she arrived, she can at times get frustrated due to her condition however the staff know how to deal with her so that she has a happy smiley face. I am happy with her being at Hourigan House, safe, in the knowledge that she is being well looked after.

I always find the care home to be great. The staff work very hard and are very caring towards Mum and the other residents. They are also very patient with what must be a very difficult job. I always find that they really enjoy their work and are a pleasure to deal with.

Mum went into Hourigan House in May which was a major decision for us as a family to make but the staff have been wonderful in supporting her transition to full-time care. I cannot fault the staff in terms of cheerfulness and commitment to looking after her. Visitors always receive a warm welcome. Mum refers to it as her home and at 102 this is a huge comfort to our family especially after so long of having her own independent style of living.
Thank you for your Kind words. We take great pleasure knowing that your Mum is happy to call Hourigan House her home and that her family feels the same.

From walking in on that 1st day, all the staff are so kind, caring and thoughtful, nothing is too much trouble. Our mum’s always been outgoing and loves nothing more than having a good chat. We can’t believe the difference, not just in her confidence but also her mobility. She loves taking part in the crafts, flower arranging, games etc.
The reassurance we now have that mum’s being looked after in such a wonderful place, that not only takes care of her personal and physical needs but also understands the importance of emotional needs too. We can only say it’s outstanding!
Hourigan House is now Mum’s home and we would highly recommend anybody looking for a caring, friendly environment for their loved ones, to look here first.
Thank you for your kind words. We take pleasure in knowing that residents and their families are happy. That they can see that we understand the importance of providing emotional support to our residents. Enabling them to continue with the things that have always been important to them.

My mother is very settled in Hourigan House after a period of supported living which became too difficult due to dementia. Her room is nice, always clean and tidy. She says the food is good and it appears so. The whole place is quite spacious and well-equipped. Now the staff - they are really excellent, all of them. Always kind and polite to residents and visitors and seems to enjoy the work and care for the residents. My mother joins in some of the activities and there is a hairdresser who visits and trips out. We looked long and hard before deciding on this home and we do not regret it.
Thank you for your kind words. It is lovely that you feel happy and that your mother is settled and cared for here at Hourigan House. We strive to make Hourigan House a home for both residents and families.
Lots of activities are organised at the home.
Very clean facilities and my grandmother's room has everything she needs.
Meals are homemade and lots of choices.

My mother went into the nursing home a frail depressed and angry lady. I told my brother and sister she would be dead in two weeks. The transformation has been nothing short of miraculous. The staff have cared for her in a way I didn't think possible when is now a healthy and happy person and loving life, and this is all down to the love and care the staff have afforded her. I will be forever grateful to Hourigan House because without them my mother would not be here.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, it is lovely to hear. It is a pleasure to be able to provide the care for your mum and we are very grateful for your support. She truly is a remarkable lady I will pass this feedback on to all the staff. I have an amazing team and they really do care, we like it to feel like it's a family. Thanks again.
From going in I have never had a problem, my mum has settled really well. Lovely care staff, very friendly and fantastic with my mum. What has really helped is all the activities that they do with them. If I have any concerns I know that I can go to any member of staff and they will try to resolve...

I am very pleased with the standard of care my dad is receiving at Hourigan House. The staff are excellent in helping my dad with all his needs. He is always clean and tidy in his appearance.

My sister was sent to Hourigan House after a long illness and the outcome didn’t look bright for her. However, over a 12 month period, the staff and carers changed my sister's life around so much so she was able to go and live independently. Not only were the staff caring and respectful at all...
I always said I would never go into a care home but I can honestly say I would go into Hourigan House if ever I needed to. My sister has always said she will go back when the time is right. Thank you so much for all you have done.
