Welcome to Caharcalla Community Hospital, located just five minutes from the bustling market town of Ennis Co. Clare. We are a purpose-built 112 bed hospital providing warm, caring and professional care services. Today, as always, the hospital prides itself in providing the highest quality and safe healthcare with compassion, respect and dignity to all our residents within the community.
Cahercalla Hospital has joined a clinical partnership with Dockt Healthcare to provide the highest level of care for residents in the communities we serve. Together our compassionate teams of skilled professionals deliver a patient-centred approach to care, develop personal relationships with each resident and ensure quality care in the homely environment Cahercalla provides. We pride ourselves on personalised care plans tailored to meet the needs of each of our residents whether you are staying with us on a residential basis or just for a short period of convalescence time.
Supporting the Director of Nursing our home has a dedicated team of staff nurses, senior healthcare assistants, healthcare assistants, activity coordinator, social care practitioner, allied healthcare professionals and ancillary staff, who’s focus is to enhance the lives of the elderly residents in their care.

Respite Care
Some of our residents are with us for short-term convalescence care after acute medical care in a hospital, where they are ready to be discharged, but are not quite well enough to manage at home on their own yet. We offer skilled, individualised rehabilitation care, nursing and associated therapies.
Caregivers who spend their days looking after a family member or friend also need a break. So we offer short-term respite care and the opportunity to enjoy some down-time by providing care for their loved one.
Nursing Home Care
Perhaps it’s because we’ve grown up with the community, or because we simply have a passion for what we do. It’s the Cahercalla difference… Our Nursing Home has an unwavering reputation for offering you unsurpassed quality healthcare together with a genuinely personal and caring approach.
Our long term residents make Caharcalla their new home-from-home when they are no longer able to live alone, either through illness or disability. We offer best-practice medical, nursing, rehabilitation and therapeutic services in a nurturing, safe and homely environment.
Hospice Care
Hospice Care at Cahercalla is designed to take care of people who may be in the final stages of a terminal illness, people who need specialised support following treatment such as chemotherapy, or who could benefit from a period of respite and focused care, away from home. Whatever brings a patient to us, the focus is always on making sure they are as comfortable as they can be. It’s about care, not cure – so that each day can be lived as pain-free as possible, with maximum quality of life.
At Cahercalla Hospice our patients’ emotional, spiritual and social needs are just as important as their physical ones – and this is reflected in our approach, our facilities and the kind of services we provide.
Championing Quality of Life for Our Residents
We Listen. We Care.
People First
Residents are at the centre of everything we do in Dockt Healthcare and residents and their families are at the centre of care planning. It is important to every member of our organisation that families are reassured and confident that their loved ones are receiving the very best of care. We want to help.
A Caring Culture
Led by our hearts – our team of skilled professionals, from Directors of Care, nurses and carers to catering and housekeeping are all characterised by the qualities of empathy, compassion, kindness, patience and understanding. We promote a culture of friendship and companionship in all our homes. We Listen. We Care.
Health & Wellbeing
Our care follows critical and clinical best practice, focussing on managing and improving long term medical condition, pain levels, mobility and maximising independence of our residents. We at all times respect the wishes of the person and very importantly, go at the pace our residents want to go at.
The Lived Experience
We are dedicated to involving residents in daily activities and therapies – cognitively stimulating, multi-sensory, physical therapy and social care – that help them feel valued, provide them with a sense of purpose and give them a sense of belonging. ‘Life Goes On’…with every comfort of home.
Person-Centred Healthcare
We promote choice at all times and do everything we can to enable our residents to enjoy a full life
Health & Wellbeing
Living with Purpose
We encourage our residents to engage, enjoy, express, and live as full, independent and active a life as possible with us. Our dedicated activity coordinators and social care practitioners develop an extensive weekly calendar of activities, based on residents’ expressed preferences, and tailored to individual needs.
We provide support and stimulation through a blend of activities and therapies that enrich the body, mind and spirit. On a typical week residents enjoy music, singing and dance activities, light exercise, games, gardening, excursions, beauty pampering, and social gatherings. Residents like to spend time pursuing their own individual hobbies or interests, as well as join in on group activities in our communal and quiet lounges.
Our activities programming is designed to bring together residents, staff, family and friends – and to turn each day into an opportunity for our residents to Live With Purpose.

We pride ourselves on the quality of our food that is all home made by our excellent and experienced team of cooks and chefs.
Our home baking is a great tradition at Cahercalla, and residents look forward to the fresh bread, cakes, scones and desserts that we prepared every day.
