Padre Pio Nursing Home
Introduction
Padre Pio Nursing Home is a family run, private Nursing Home of exceptional character. This lovely residence is surrounded by enclosed, walled gardens within a rural setting while still within walking distance of Holycross Village. The building has been extended and completely renovated and upgraded to provide extensive and luxurious accommodation, facilitating all categories of care of the elderly, from independent living within a nursing home setting right through to high dependency care.
Nursing Care
Padre Pio Nursing Home endeavours to maintain the highest possible standards of individualised care. We actively encourage the participation of families and friends and recognise the valuable contribution they make to the well being of our residents.
Excellent Catering
Dining at Padre Pio Nursing Home is an experience to look forward to and enjoyed by all. There is an extensive menu range with daily selection providing good wholesome and nutritional meals which feature tasty home baking. Alternatives and choices are always available and special or medically advised dietary requirements are catered for. Meals may be taken in resident’s own room or in the dining rooms.
Social Activities
‘Man does not cease to play because he grows old; he grows old because he ceases to play.’
George Bernard Shaw

Staff
At Padre Pio Nursing Home we provide the highest standard of care. We are mindful that our staff are the driving force behind our standards of care, and we are committed to ensuring that all our staff receive ongoing, professional development and training. The pursuit of excellence in care and our commitment to maintaining that quality of care is embraced by our Director of Nursing and is encouraged and shared by our valued multidisciplinary team within the nursing home.
