Day Care for Older People is a non-residential facility that supports the health, nutritional, social and daily living needs of the older adult in a professionally staffed group setting. It also offers caregivers a break from their duties while knowing their loved ones are being looked after.

Testimonials

An Open Letter of Appreciation to Our Ard Chúram Team

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we want to express our deepest gratitude to each and every member of the Ard Chúram team. The feedback we have received from clients, families, and carers has been nothing short of extraordinary. It reflects not only the professionalism of our staff, but the warmth, compassion and dignity you show every single day.

Your work is more than care — it is connection. It is the reassurance of a friendly face, the comfort of a kind word and the feeling of belonging that so many of our clients’ treasure.

“I cannot praise Ard Chúram enough. The staff are so welcoming, caring and genuine in everything they do.”

“The difference Ard Chúram makes to my mum’s life is immeasurable — she comes home smiling, and that means the world to us.”

“It’s like coming to a second home where everyone knows your name and cares about you.”

“Ard Chúram has been a lifeline for us. The care and kindness shown is beyond anything we could have imagined.”

 

What you bring to Ard Chúram is not just skill, but heart. You enrich lives, support families and strengthen our community in ways that will never be fully captured in a report or a plan — but will always be felt deeply by those you serve.

Thank you for the dedication you bring to your roles, the respect you show to every individual and the spirit of kindness that is the hallmark of Ard Chúram and the Fuchsia Centre. We are immensely proud of the difference you make every day.

With sincere appreciation,

The Board of Directors
