The Wicklow Community Unit, formerly known as Wicklow District Hospital, closed in 2010.
Having recently benefitted from a €1.5m investment, the Unit has been extensively refurbished and reopened to meet the needs of older adults in the Wicklow community. T
The facility now meets modern healthcare standards and provides a dedicated and professional team of 40 WTE staff delivering high-quality care.
The Unit offers 18 beds for Wicklow’s elderly community and specialises in short stay services including rehabilitation, convalescence, respite and day services.
It is the only public dedicated short stay unit for older adults in County Wicklow.
In addition, the Wicklow Integrated Care Programme for Older Persons (ICPOP) team operates from the first floor and provides additional support to the unit.
The Unit has a full nursing and care support team together with a dedicated team of allied health professionals including Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy.
There is also a Day Care Centre for the Elderly adjacent to the Unit which was also substantially upgraded during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Day Centre can accommodate 20 attendees daily and links closely with both the onsite ICPOP and Nursing teams to enable proactive interventions where necessary.
