Funding appeal for retirement care facility

ONE of Waterford’s most respected charities is committing itself to caring for future generations of elderly people in the region by developing “unrivalled” facilities on a new site.

The Little Sisters of the Poor are about to relocate from their existing home on Manor Hill, to a purpose-built retirement facility in Ferrybank.

The new building will house 70 to 80 senior members of the community in a modern facility on a site close to the Abbey School in Ferrybank.
