Nursing homes are home to some of the most remarkable and wonderful people in Irish society. Our Members consider it a great privilege to share so much of their lives with these people and to provide them with exceptional care. Residents within our nursing homes are truly inspirational. They share with us great knowledge, wisdom, advice, humility and life experience. Great characters and people live in our nursing homes. Residents have great humour, are great storytellers, provide exceptional friendship. The excellent care provided by outstanding staff in nursing homes is committed to enhancing the lives of residents. They continue to enjoy their favourite past-times and embrace new interests. They sing and dance, create arts and crafts works, enjoy games, watch movies, participate in a range of physical activities, gardening, reminisce, engage in writing and art workshops. In Spring 2018, Nursing Homes Ireland undertook this special initiative to provide some insight into the talents possessed by nursing home residents.

  • The Eurovision Years
    THE EUROVISION YEARS The North West’s love affair with the Eurovision Song Contest began in Vienna, Austria, in 1967 when Phil Coulter, with his writing partner Scot Bill Martin, composed Puppet on a String for Sandy Shaw. The song won and the local connection with the contest began. The following year they nearly completed the double when, at the Royal Albert Hall in London, Cliff Richard performed their latest composition Congratulations. Unfortunately, the song came second, but both songs went on to sell millions of records worldwide. In Amsterdam in 1970, a local girl called Rosemary Brown, better known as Dana, won the Eurovision with All Kinds of Everything. The Phil Coulter song was arranged by Phil Coulter and went on to be a number one hit all over Europe. Charlie Sherrard and Josef Locke were two great Irish tenors of their era. Charlie was born and raised in William Street, Sandi Shaw a stone’s throw from Thundering Down, the street where Josef Locke was born and raised as Joseph McLaughlin. Charlie’s son, Sean Sherrard, followed in his father’s footsteps. Sean took the stage name Johnny Logan and in 1980 composer Shay Healey wrote What’s Another Year which Johnny performed in The Hague in the Netherlands. The song went on to win and launched Johnny Logan onto the international music scene. The following year the contest was held in Dublin and the group Sheeba represented Ireland. Local girl Frances Campbell was a member of the all- girl trio. Sheeba came fifth that year, finishing behind Bucks Fizz who won Dana with Making Your Mind Up.
