We provide care to people living with varying needs including people living with dementia. Esker Lodge is the first nursing home in Ireland to be awarded the Gold Standard Accreditation Award from the University of Stirling, a centre of excellence and thought leader for dementia-specific care in Europe.

Our home has been designed to offer a relaxed comfortable environment divided into two main areas, Killykeen and Dun A Ri, named after two beautiful forests in Co. Cavan. We have both single en-suite and shared en-suite bedrooms available allowing friends, couples and families to share together if this is their preference. In our home there are many comfortable spaces both private and shared available to our residents, their families and their friends to spend quality time together.
