Padre Pio Nursing Home

Introduction

Padre Pio Nursing Home is a family run, private Nursing Home of exceptional character. This lovely residence is surrounded by enclosed, walled gardens within a rural setting while still within walking distance of Holycross Village. The building has been extended and completely renovated and upgraded to provide extensive and luxurious accommodation, facilitating all categories of care of the elderly, from independent living within a nursing home setting right through to high dependency care.

Nursing Care

Padre Pio Nursing Home endeavours to maintain the highest possible standards of individualised care. We actively encourage the participation of families and friends and recognise the valuable contribution they make to the well being of our residents.

Excellent Catering

Dining at Padre Pio Nursing Home is an experience to look forward to and enjoyed by all. There is an extensive menu range with daily selection providing good wholesome and nutritional meals which feature tasty home baking. Alternatives and choices are always available and special or medically advised dietary requirements are catered for. Meals may be taken in resident’s own room or in the dining rooms.
