On 15 January 2025, it was announced that the Little Sisters have taken the difficult decision to leave our home in Raheny. The hope is that the home will continue as a nursing home with independent living apartments where the residents will continue to be welcomed and cared for with respect and dignity.

We appreciate your support as we continue our service striving to maintain the same quality of care until we find a new provider to carry on in our place. The Little Sisters are grateful for the many residents we have known and served over the years and the many people who have helped us in our mission.

Every time I come here to visit my friend I think there is no way I can be more impressed!! but every time I am.  Everybody at St Joseph’s is so kind and caring.  The building is always immaculate and it’s a total pleasure to be here.

Resident’s Family

I came here today to help with the Art Club and I really enjoyed it.  I thought it was a bit hot but that’s not your fault.  We did painting a candle.  Some people did amazing work, mine looked like it was a melting one but had lots of shadows.  Overall, I loved it! PS I visited my Great Granny.

Resident’s Family

I visited my aunt today and went to Mass with her, which was for her brother’s second anniversary.  I am so happy that she is being cared for here.  It is a wonderful Home and everyone is so helpful and approachable.  Thank You so much.

Resident’s Family

I visited as a volunteer today.  I love St Joseph’s and the people who live and work here.  I decided to volunteer to repay everyone for the wonderful care and love everyone gave my mum during her 10 months here.  My brother and I will be eternally grateful to St Jo’s.

Volunteer

From a staff point of view, this is the best Home I have been in.  Friendly and caring staff and people in charge that get to know not only you but your family too.  I have worked here for many years and have enjoyed it.  I have also met some life long friends.

Staff
