Glebe House Nursing Home in Kilternan is operated by Cowper Care, a Church of Ireland charity working in the Charitable Care Sector. We see ourselves as an integral part of the health service providing respite and extended care to those who need it.
We promote and strive to provide the highest possible standards of care, accommodation and facilities to our residents and their families in our care centres. We assist our residents in achieving the best quality of life possible by providing an environment that facilitates living and dying with dignity. We encourage each resident to maintain their independence while offering all necessary care and support.

Sheltered Housing
Alexandra Close consists of 22 purpose built sheltered accommodation houses constructed in a crescent around Glebe House Nursing Home. These houses include a main hallway, two generously sized bedrooms, a main bathroom with level entry wet-room style shower, a living room and separate kitchen. The houses have underfloor heating throughout for maximum comfort, and heating and hot water is supplied by an Air to Water Heat Pump. The houses are B1-rated. They are highly efficient resulting in lower running costs.
These are all newly-built two-bedroomed houses. Residents have the option of dining at the nursing home on a daily basis, promoting integration of both the residents of the sheltered housing and the nursing home.
