What a wonderful afternoon at Amberley Home, Fermoy as part of Nursing Homes Ireland Week.

We had the pleasure of giving a talk to the residents about the natural beauty, history and heritage of Doneraile Estate and Annes Grove Gardens.

It was a lovely opportunity to share the stories of these very special local amenities while also hearing some wonderful memories and personal connections from the residents.

A huge thank you to everyone at Amberley Home for the very warm welcome, it was a truly enjoyable afternoon.
