Care centre offers outreach programme

A CORK centre widely known for its exemplary care of the elderly is now offering an outreach programme for those who look after senior citizens in their own homes.

St Luke’s Home at Castle Road, Mahon, Cork, is hosting a range of courses for the care of older people, which include accredited and non-accredited programmes aimed at enabling care-givers to provide an improved standard of care which “will enhance the lives of the recipients”.

The courses, many of which are FETAC level and meet the requirements of HIQA’s National Quality Standards for Residential Care Settings for Older People, provide carers with the opportunity to improve their standard of operation and enhance the quality of life of all parties involved.
