Belvilla Nursing Home, SCR, Dublin. Anybody got experience???...

Hi all...

Hope this is in the right place, Mods please move it if I'm wrong....

I'm sole carer to my mum... I need an operation soon, and the plan is for Mum to go into Belvilla... Has anybody had experience???

Thanks in advance...

My grandmother was in there for a period. It seemed okay and well run. I believe there were problems there some years ago; however not aware of any now.

My mother is in that catchment area and, from reports from friends and professionals, Belvilla would have been my preferred placement for her when it became impossible for us to care for her at home. As it happened, when the time came she had become too dependent, there was no long term place for her there and she moved to the Meath Community Unit instead. I gather that Belvilla has more mobile/alert residents than the Meath. All in all, I would think you should have no qualms about Belvilla. If you think your mother will be ok with respite (wherever) then I'd say go with it.

Thanks Deas....

The older problem was my main concern if I'm honest...

Wow!.... Thank you SO much, MF..... That's gone a long way to putting my mind at rest.....

Much appreciate you both taking the time to reply......
