Residents and family at Mount Carmel Supported Care Home's recent open day

The annual Golf Classic in aide of Mount Carmel Supported Care Home is taking place the weekend of August 29 and 30 in Callan Golf Club. The event is the main fund-raising event for Mount Carmel.

Last year’s classic was a fantastic success with great weather and a great turn out by the golfers of Callan, Kilkenny and even further afield. The course looked fantastic.

Mount Carmel Supported Care Home opened in 1985 and offers its services to low dependency residents over 65 years.

It provides long-term and respite care for residents who are mainly capable of living independently and who require minimal assistance in a home-from-home environment. It promotes independent living in a safe and comfortable environment for the older people of the parish and surrounding areas and is established as an integral part in the provision of a comprehensive service to the elderly in the community. The total capacity is for 20 residents. There are 20 single bedrooms.

The Golf Classic will be taking place in Callan Golf Club on Friday and Saturday, August 30 and 31. It is a fantastic day in aid of Mount Carmel. CHECK OUT PICTURES FROM THE HOME'S RECENT OPEN DAY

There is an array of prizes for the successful teams who compete in the classic, so don’t worry if you are not a golfer. There will be tickets on sale on both days for a draw, and the first prize is a trailer of logs. Tickets will be on sale at select locations around Callan. If you are interested in entering a team, contact the following: John Healy, (087-6592977 or Margaret Maher (087-9606440).
