Residents of Ard Carrig in Carrigtwohill, Co Cork take part in Positive Ageing Week. The event included talks by the East Cork Care and Repair Scheme and Occupational Therapist Jo O’Leary.

The Droimnin Retirement Village in Stradbally, Co Laois is made up of two-bedroom fully adapted bungalows and is situated just a short stroll from the local shops.

A piece ran in the Sunday Times on 29th September 2019 on housing options for senior citizens in Ireland. It referenced the Clann scheme in Great Northern Haven and featured resident Barbara Flaherty who was very complimentary of the support she receives.

Residents in Lios Na Dara and Great Northern Haven in Dundalk enjoyed a Positive Ageing lunch as part of the national Positive Ageing Week. There was a good turn out and everyone was looking forward to catching up again – the two groups had met for a Neighbours’ Day event in the summer with Oriel Lodge in Cavan, so this lunch offered a chance for the Dundalk schemes to share stories and updates. Some friendships have been made between all three schemes, and we look forward to building on these good relations at future outings.
