Slieve Na Mon Care Centre Omagh
Slieve na Mon is a nursing and social care centre for the frail elderly and elderly mentally infirm. Conveniently located four and a half miles from Omagh on the main Gortin Road, the centre has the attractive design of a traditional Irish “Clachan” or gathering of cottages; the nostalgic appearance of which could be familiar and inviting to older people from the area.
The internal and external environment has been adapted and modified over the past two years to reflect current practice and thinking in dementia friendly design, given the changes, updates and progress in the research in evidence base for design principles: in essence, extensive and subtle changes have resulted in Slieve na Mon being awarded the Gold Standard Accreditation by the University of Stirling using their stringent design audit tool.
Please take a look at our photo gallery to see some of the signnificant changes that have taken place at Slieve Na Mon. If you would like any further information, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Situated four and a half miles from Omagh on the main Gortin Road, (see map) Slieve na Mon operates as seven interconnected units. This is made possible due to its unique design enabling the complex to be registered for varying client groups, including the frail elderly, functionally mentally ill, but focusing on the Elderly Mentally Infirm. All accommodation is ground floor, with easy access to several secure dementia friendly gardens. We have avoided institutional multi-stories with long corridors and instead our ‘links’ between cottages have interesting and stimulating activity centres and outside views: dining rooms and sitting rooms are on a similar homely and domestic scale.
En-suite rooms are available and as care is based around each persons individual needs, our experienced staff decide on the most appropriate area within the care centre which best serves these needs. We appreciate the diverse but individual and intimate requirements of our residents, and feel these are addressed by providing the optimum environment coupled with the best practice from our team of managers, nurses, carers, kitchen and domestic staff; the team all work and communicate in unison, with the residents’ interest the priority.
