At Brídhaven Nursing Home, our Residents Committee has been in place since 2008. It has had a significant impact on the lives of those who live in the nursing home. It creates a forum in which residents can discuss their needs, suggest ideas for activities and comment on the programme of events and make their own recommendations. The names of the residents on the committee are displayed on the notice board in the main reception area.
