Long-serving Kilkenny carer to retire from local nursing home


From this week’s Callan Notes in the Kilkenny People
Towards the end of last month, Sally Brett shared news of her intention to step down from her role in Mount Carmel, bringing to a close a journey that began when she joined the staff as a Senior Carer in 2011.
Over the years, Sally made a significant contribution, stepping up as Manager on three separate occasions before becoming the first Deputy Manager in 2018.
She again stepped into the manager’s role last December before new manager Marie Smyth joined the staff in January.
A glance through the pages of the Mount Carmel History, published last July, gives a real sense of the many ways Sally became involved in enhancing the lives of the residents.
She will be remembered for her genuine care, her deep interest in those she supported, and her willingness to go above and beyond always delivered with her trademark good humour.
