Visit to Valentia Hospital Co. Kerry
Shane Scanlan, CEO had the privilege of visiting Valentia Hospital in Co. Kerry, a remarkable care centre that provides loving care to 24 older persons in the heart of Valentia Island.
As CEO of The Alliance – Supporting Nursing Homes, Shane is deeply passionate about highlighting the importance of rural care centres like Valentia Hospital. These centres provide vital, person-centred care in decongregated settings, allowing residents to thrive in their own communities.
But rural care centres like Valentia Hospital face unique challenges, from recruitment and retention to funding and resource constraints. That’s why it’s imperative that our government does all it can to protect and support these rural services.
We must recognise the value of rural care centres in maintaining vibrant, sustainable communities. By investing in these services, we’re not only enhancing the lives of older persons, but also preserving the fabric of rural Ireland.
We would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to Stephanie and the team at Valentia Hospital for their warm welcome and dedication to delivering exceptional care.
