Happy Onam 2025!

We are delighted to celebrate this special festival with all our residents and staff.

Onam is a vibrant 10-day harvest festival celebrated by the Malayali community in Kerala and around the world. In 2025, the festivities began on August 26 and will culminate with Thiruvonam on Friday, September 5.

This 10-day festival is marked by a variety of traditions. Pookalam refers to elaborate floral designs created at entrances to welcome King Mahabali. These arrangements grow grander with each layer, often featuring ten rings of flowers, with the center made of yellow flowers to represent King Mahabali.

The Onam Sadya (Onam feast), held on the tenth day of the festival, is traditionally served on a banana leaf and usually includes at least nine courses with a variety of vegetables.

May this festive season bring joy, peace, and prosperity to you and your family.

Our residents had a special visitor yesterday called Pippa.
Pet therapy is highly beneficial to the elderly as it enhances emotional wellbeing, reduces loneliness and promotes physical health. We hope to see Pippa very soon again.

What a way to end our Nursing Homes week!...
We were so delighted to welcome some of our lovely Indian colleagues to perform cultural songs and stories with our residents. They told the story of King Mahabili who we were delighted was able to attend and also there to present one of our residents with his birthday cake! Our Indian staff are such an integral and important part of the Nursing Home and our local towns and villages. We are honoured and privileged to have had such a beautiful experience and to enjoy a little bit of their culture. Thank you to all who participated and we are looking forward to your next performance over the festive season!

As part of Nursing Homes week our residents got to meet some unusual "house pets" today.. We welcomed "Captain" the Bearded Dragon, Huckleberry the ferret & Izzie the parrot. Many of our residents have never been close to lizards or even parrots before so it was a very new experience. They have many memories of their different and varied pets some of which actually were pet ferrets. We had a great discussion about the different types of animals they raised and the various different names they had for them. It is safe to say that in this modern world, pets have become alot more exotic in homes. We thank Pamela for bringing in her much loved pets to visit and offering us all an unforgettable experience! 🦎🐦🦫

The theme for Nursing Homes week is A Taste of Home.

Today our residents have been busy making traditional Irish brown bread. This is something many of our residents male and female would be used to baking whilst growing up in Ireland. Traditionally it was cooked on griddles over fires. Our residents reminisced on the various ways they made bread and how they remembered their mothers making it. They enjoyed the finished product today at tea time and it went down a treat. Benefits of baking include stress relief, promoting creativity, the opportunity to socialize and feelings of independence. Well done to all involved today.

It's Nursing Homes Week!

Yesterday we welcomed two turtles called Freddy and Gremie and a dog called Trixie. A lot of our residents may not have experienced meeting turtles let alone holding one. Animals from turtles to gekkos to dogs or goats are very beneficial for the elderly. They provide emotional support, companionship, enhance cognitive function and reduce loneliness.
We thank our staff Noah and Naomi for bringing in their pets to visit and for bringing a new experience to our residents. 🐶🐢

This weekend Portumna Retirement Village is proud to celebrate Ireland-India Day. We take the opportunity to acknowledge the tremendous input made by the Indian community to life in our nursing home and also to healthcare services across Ireland. Our healthcare services have benefitted greatly from the professional care skills of Indians and our local communities have been enriched by their contribution. PRV staff and residents have been disgusted to learn in the media of attacks on members of the Indian community in Ireland in recent weeks and we stand fully supportive of our wonderful Indian colleagues and this weekend we celebrate the very special bond that exists between Ireland and India.
