About Us
Glounthaune Homes Trust (GHT) comes about as a response to the strong desire of many of the senior residents in Glounthaune to remain in the area and keep in touch with their friends and neighbours and to continue active participation in community activities.
A voluntary board of local people have agreed to act as a steering committee – William Cuddy, Dr. Conor O’Brien, Teresa O’Sullivan, Dr. Jim Murphy, Garry Tomlins, Jill McNamara
The project would aspire to facilitate the provision of the following services:
• Day centre
• Visiting nurse
• Visiting doctor
• Access to Glounthaune Meals on Wheels
• Communal area
• Maintenance and trades people management
• Leisure activities
• Communal social activities
• Personal care services
• Housework assistance
GHT envisages a high quality development located close to Glounthaune village and existing community facilities. This model for independent living comprises 20 self-contained units of a mix of terraced one storey (1200 square feet) and groups of terraced two storey (1100 square feet), both with two bedrooms designed for the older age profile.
The units would be suitable for couples or individuals living on their own and be close to ‘carbon neutral’ energy requirement and would also have mobility access.
