Our Nursing Home Facilities

​Shannon Lodge Nursing Home Rooskey, on the border of the Roscommon, Leitrim and Longford borders has a wide range of facilities outside of the essential care facilities, such as direct dial telephone, television channels, Wifi & the use of iPads, but to name a few.

Internet Usage

At Shannon Lodge Nursing Home we encourage our residents to use the internet to keep in contact with their loved ones at home and in particular, their loved ones abroad. On many occasions we have facilitated grandparents talk to their grandchildren in Australia or Canada using Skype. We also encourage residents to keep up to date with news from around the world.

Transport

Shannon Lodge Nursing home can accommodate residents in travelling to the post office and shops should they feel like taking a trip down the town. We can be very accommodating and assist residents who wish to travel for a variety of reasons. Our wheelchair accessible vehicles and trained driver are more than happy to help where needed. 

iPads

Our nursing home encourages residents to embrace modern technology as a method of keeping in contact with their loved ones at home and abroad. Whilst we encourage our residents to embrace technology it is only for those who feel comfortable doing so and we work to ensure their safety in an ever changing cyber world.

TV Channels & Radio

The nursing home has a great range of television channels available in the two day lounges. There is also live radio piped throughout the public realms of the nursing home which helps create a calming environment for the residents and those visiting. 

Direct Dial Telephone

Here at Shannon Lodge Nursing Home we have recently installed a brand new direct dial telephone system. The system allows residents to dial directly out without going through our switch and also for family members to dial directly into their loved ones in their room.
