External Facilities and Activities
Woodlands House Nursing Home is situated in the thriving and bustling region of Navan, and is serviced by nearby restaurants, public houses, libraries and community halls.
Whilst there are occasional organised day trips for residents the nursing home will assist you to participate in external activities outside of these arrangements, where you so desire. Just make your requirements known to the Director of Care.
Additional costs may be incurred {e.g. travelling expenses and the cost of any accompanying escort} which are the responsibility of the resident.
Occasionally short outings are arranged to different places and points of interest, details of these are posted on the noticeboard and they tend to be mainly in warmer weather.
