Residents and clients of St Brendan's Community Nursing Unit (CNU) and St Martin's Day Services in Loughrea are moving into the new Community Nursing Unit, located alongside the former building in Loughrea.

The recently completed, 100 bed St Brendan's CNU is a purpose built facility which provides residents with both single and double ensuite bedrooms and fully meets the Health and Information Quality Authority (HIQA) standards.

The former St Brendan's building will be developed to meet the primary care needs of the community in Loughrea and a number of primary care services have already relocated to that building.

Bernie Austin, Director of Nursing, St. Brendan's Community Nursing Unit said: "I would like to acknowledge the dedication and support of all those people involved in making this transition happen, particularly our clients and their families. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the staff of St. Brendan's Community Nursing Unit for their continuous hard work."
