Person-centred specialist care for people living with dementia

We are dedicated to involving residents with memory loss in meaningful activities that help them feel valued and provide them with a sense of purpose.

We are dedicated to involving residents with memory loss in meaningful activities that help them feel valued and provide them with a sense of purpose.
Daily activities are designed to nurture residents’ spirits by preserving familiar life skills that bring a sense of purpose.
Our Memory Care team creates personalised programmes with multi-sensory experiences, such as exercise, gardening, intergenerational activities, and pet therapy, tailored to individual needs. Activities are offered one-on-one or in small groups with shared interests.
Facilities include ensuite bedrooms, sitting and dining rooms, and a secure garden with sensory features, an orchard, walkways, bird feeders, and a patio for barbecues or relaxation on sunny days.
Nursing Home Care
Our long term residents make Swords their new home-from-home when they are no longer able to live alone, either through illness or disability. We offer best-practice medical, nursing, rehabilitation and therapeutic services in a nurturing, safe and homely environment.
Respite Care
Some of our residents are with us for short-term respite care after acute medical care in a hospital, where they are ready to be discharged, but are not quite well enough to manage at home on their own yet. We offer skilled, individualised rehabilitation care, nursing and associated therapies.
Person-Centred Healthcare
We promote choice at all times and do everything we can to enable our residents to enjoy a full life.
Health & Wellbeing Living with Purpose
We empower residents to live as full, independent, and active a life as possible. Our activity coordinators and social care practitioners design personalised weekly calendars, based on residents’ preferences and needs, offering a variety of engaging and enriching activities.
Residents enjoy music, singing, light exercise, gardening, games, beauty pampering, excursions, and social gatherings, alongside time for personal hobbies or quiet relaxation. Activities foster connection among residents, staff, family, and friends, turning each day into an opportunity to Live With Purpose.
Our family is incredibly grateful for the wonderful care and support Martin has received at Swords Memory Care Centre. The staff go above and beyond to ensure he feels safe, comfortable, and engaged every day.
The specialist memory care team shows such patience, kindness, and understanding, creating a warm and familiar environment where Martin truly thrives. Seeing him happy and well cared for gives us great peace of mind.
Thank you to the entire team for making such a positive impact on Martin’s life
