Last Thursday we welcomed the amazing Sabrina Fallon to Portumna Retirement Village. Our residents were treated to a fantastic lively sing song and thoroughly enjoyed Sabrina's energy and talent. Sabrina who graduated in Design admired the beautiful knitted blanket that the residents worked on together as a group, co-ordinated by Eithne our activities co-ordinator.
We thank you so much Sabrina Fallon for giving your time to our residents who enjoy music so much. It truly means the world to them and we hope you will be back to visit us again. 🎼🎤❤️

What better way to pass a rainy afternoon than a game of bean bag throw. This is a firm favourite of our residents.
This game can help get older people physically active, improve hand-eye coordination, and help with motor skills. 🥰

Our residents are taking advantage of this beautiful weather and have been busy planting various types of plants. They have sowed Nasturtiums, Lobelias and some peas and beans.

Gardening is an excellent way for seniors to stay active and maintain their physical health. Activities such as planting, weeding, watering, and harvesting require movement and can help improve strength, flexibility, and endurance.
We will post the results of their hard work in a few weeks time.

Yesterday at Portumna Retirement Village we marked World Hand Hygiene Day 2025. Practicing good hand hygiene is one of the most important and simple things that we can do to protect our health, and is one of the most effective ways of stopping the spread of many common infections.
Put Hand Hygiene in a whole new light.

The finished product...
Well done to our residents who have made this amazing blanket. Some of the residents took part in knitting individual squares and created this beautiful blanket. A lot of our residents used to knit as a pasttime and they loved being able to contribute to this project. It is proudly displayed in the foyer of our reception. We think you will agree it is absolutely fantastic.

We recently welcomed Saoirse Casey into Portumna Retirement Village as she was raising money for St Therese Paediatric Ward in Portiuncula. Saoirse has been diagnosed with Bronchiectasis and PCD which are both lifelong chronic respiratory illnesses. The Paediatric Ward in Ballinasloe have helped Saoirse so much and are a great support to her. They have helped towards her diagnosis and her treatment plan and have been working alongside Crumlin Hospital to give Saoirse the best care. Saoirse was very busy baking she brought in lots of treats for the residents and staff. A donation box has been left in the foyer and we thank those who gave a donation so far to a very worthy cause. We wish Saoirse all the very best with her treatment. Saoirse's mum Ciara McHugh works here in PRV. Saoirse is a very brave, generous and amazing young girl. 💖👏👏

A few canine friends came to visit PRV recently. Our residents loved the experience as most of them had dogs at home as pets and ones that may have worked on the farm. Pet therapy is hugely beneficial to the elderly as it enhances emotional well-being, reduces loneliness and promotes physical health through meaningful interactions with animals. Thank you Christina and Eleanor for bringing your pets Harley the German Shepherd, Cass the Golden Retriever and Millie the terrier into visit us. Hope to see you all again soon!🐶🐕‍🦺🦮🐾

Our residents have been very busy the last few days with the start of our new knitting circle. They have been joined by our student from Portumna Community School on work experience who has been helping out in making a new blanket. The residents are enjoying knitting again as this was a past-time that was very special to them years ago. Many stories, laughs and memories have told while they knit. The benefits of knitting for the elderly include improved mental health, stronger physical dexterity and better social-emotional well being. Once our blanket is complete, we will show-case this in our foyer and will then move onto another knitting project.

On Friday 28th February we celebrated Denim for Dementia Day. Our residents, staff and visitors were encouraged to wear denim to mark this special day to raise dementia awareness. Tea, coffee along with beautiful cakes and pastries were available to all.
We would like to thank everyone who attended our tea party including Fr Michael Byrnes and the TY students and their teacher Leo Smith. To those who made donations we cannot thank you enough for your generosity. We are delighted to say confirm that we have raised €538 for Dementia.
It really was a fantastic event and we look forward to doing it all again next year.
