Sister Mary Walsh,
Sister Martha Hartigan and Sister Paul O’Donovan started work in
September 1988 along with local volunteers and in November 1988 Mary
Gaule, Community Employment Scheme Supervisor came on board with a team
of workers to support the service. The Community Employment Scheme still
provides an excellent service to this day. With the support of a Section 39 Grant from the HSE the cooks, administration and care staff were appointed. With the aid of lottery funding, resident’s fees, fundraising and donations St Lazerian’s House has become firmly established into the local community and is inspected by the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA), Environmental Health and Health and Safety. The current Board of Management (Fr Declan Foley, Chairperson) would like to thank all previous Boards for all their work over the years and keeping the service running through difficult financial times, they would also like to thank the local General Practitioners, Primary Care Team and Healy’s/CarePlus Pharmacy. In April 2017, Minister Helen McEntee opened the latest extension to comply with HIQA Standards. St Lazerian’s House is a great asset to the local community, the residents are cared for as if they were in their own home. The building is decorated to the highest standard and the grounds are beautiful. Please call in throughout the day for a tour and to see the changes and especially to meet the residents and staff. I look forward to seeing you all on the day Marian Manning, Manager
