Work on Limerick village for dementia patients begins

Construction work on Ireland’s first purpose-built village for people diagnosed with dementia has begun in Bruff, Co Limerick.

The company behind the development, CareBright Community, stated it will “change the face of dementia care in Ireland”.

Limerick billionaire JP McManus donated funds to the project which has a build cost of €5.5m. CareBright is currently fundraising to make up the final €980,000 to complete the project’s construction phase.
