CareChoice Nursing Home, Montenotte, Cork is set on 1.5 acres of private, landscaped gardens for residents to enjoy. Our gardens are a wonderful amenity where residents go for walks, sit with visitors and get involved in planting and other light gardening. They also offer lovely views of the surrounding Cork Countryside.
We are passionate about social as well as therapeutic activities. Residents have a committee – including some family members and staff – that meets regularly to discuss what types of activities they would like to have access to, whether there are any outings they’d like to plan and other items of interest.
Every Saturday the residents in CareChoice Montenotte meet in one of the Day Rooms to enjoy a drink and a chat and maybe even a sing-song. We also arrange the trips to our local, ‘The Fox and Hounds’ every now and then.
We hold regular music sessions at CareChoice Montenotte, that always create a sense of excitement among residents. Sometimes there’s dancing and other times a sing-song takes off, but these events are always a success.
Many of our residents grew up with a fondness for ‘the pictures’ and some have a great interest in film. These afternoons, which feature movies chosen by residents, always prove popular.
Everyone loves a little pampering now and then and our residents are no different. Spa Montenotte brings manicures, massage, facials and other relaxing treatments to CareChoice where residents can enjoy them.
Residents enjoy regular outings; visiting local areas of interest in the Cork area such as concert halls, historical sites, libraries, museums etc. as well as short outings to the local pub or the seaside.
Our ladies enjoy a coffee morning every Friday where they can enjoy each other’s company with chat and banter over a cuppa and some cake.
