St Joseph’s is a 50 bed nursing home. St. Joseph’s Home Warrenpoint is situated at the mouth of Carlingford Lough along the promenade in one of the most beautiful settings in Ireland.

We facilitate up to 50 elderly patients including people with physical and learning disabilities in private and semi-private rooms. At Joseph’s we care for, help and support our residents while preserving their dignity and enabling them to live their twilight years in maximum comfort and happiness.

About Us
We place great emphasis on the delivery of high quality care to our patients. We aim to provide individualised care that meets the holistic changing needs of each patient. There are qualified nurses and NVQ trained care staff on duty 24 hours a day. In order to deliver this excellent care, client review meetings are held after the first 8 weeks of admission and then yearly, or more frequently if required. This provides a formal opportunity for the client, the family, Social Services and the Home to meet and review the care package.

The Spiritual needs of all denominations are accommodated. There is a Chapel that provides a Sacred space for quiet reflection. An activity programme for the residents is provided by staff. A fully equipped sensory room is available to encourage relaxation.

Offering quality care for:

• Able bodied residents.
• Semi and fully dependent patients.
• Short term placements for respite and convalescent care.
