First Impressions:

St. Theresa’s Nursing Home on the Dublin Road, Thurles is a superb location adjacent to all of the facilities and amenities of a major Irish town. Its situation is ideal for Residents to welcome visits by family and friends or for short out-door excursions for meals, socialising and relaxation to the renowned Anner Hotel which is in close proximity to St. Theresa's Nursing Home.

Our grounds, gardens and buildings are managed on a regular basis by professional staff to ensure the highest standards are maintained.

St. Theresa’s nursing and care staff are easily identifiable by Residents and visitors with their appropriate dress code, name and badge. They provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere and are continually interacting with Residents, family and friends.
