As far as I’m concerned I’m the happiest man ever. I wouldn’t leave here for anything. I have too many good friends. I weed the garden and plant the vegetables. I am here forever.
The original idea for Gowran Abbey Nursing Home and Retirement Village was that of local Gowran businessman Tommy Farrell and Dr. Finian Gallagher - they both saw a growing need for such a community service.
Tommy, who made the site available and was a business partner, sadly died in 2003 and did not see the dream realised. His daughter Sinead Keating is a member of the Board of Directors.
Managed by three local doctors Gowran Abbey Nursing Home Kilkenny and Gowran Abbey Retirement Village Kilkenny are important facilities for families in Kilkenny, Ireland's Southeast and Dublin. Each resident in our facility receives the highest standards of health and pastoral care.
