About
St. Patrick's Cheshire Home is located just outside the busy town of Tullow in Co. Carlow. Opened in 1967, it had previously been the home of the old Tullow Village Hospital. The building was extensively refurbished in 1986 and now provides 15 single rooms for service users. A major development project was undertaken during 1999 and 2000 with the building of 8 modern bungalows, located around a landscaped courtyard and linked to the main house by a covered passageway. These bungalows are designed and fitted to provide lifetime adaptable homes within the St. Patrick’s centre.
