Set in its own grounds overlooking Ballyholme Bay, the centre is just half a mile from Bangor town. It is arranged over 2 floors and has been purpose built to a high standard.
We recognise that our residents are individuals and it is important that they maintain their independence. Our skilled staff treat residents with dignity, privacy and respect, offering them as much independence as possible. We want them to continue to enjoy their favourite pastimes in their new home.
There is plenty to do and our activities therapist puts together a full programme which is adapted to suit the needs of our residents. Activities include quizzes, sing-alongs, reminiscence therapy, indoor games, art and craft, baking and, wherever possible, trips out and about.
Friends and family are also welcome at any time and hot drinks and snacks are always available. Our cook prepares three nutritious meals a day and the menu changes regularly to reflect seasonal produce. Special diets are catered for.
If you would like a tour of Kingsland Care Centre or want to chat about the care we offer please get in touch on 028 9127 3867 or request a call back.
Ruth McKeown – Home Manager Kingsland Care Centre
I qualified as a Registered Mental Health Nurse in 2011 from Magee University. I began work within the Independent Sector and have a passion for working with frail elderly which started during my early days of nurse training. The privilege of supporting patients to achieve quality of life through compassionate care brought me a daily sense of achievement.
I joined Larchwood Care in 2015 and progressed to the position of Clinical Lead. In 2018, I was promoted to the position of Home Manager in Kingsland Care Centre to lead the team of dedicated nursing, care and ancillary staff to develop a “Home from Home” on the beautiful seafront at Ballyholme.
I have developed the staff team to recognise that small things make a big difference when residents come to live in nursing care. In Kingsland, the activities coordinator brings stimulation and enjoyment to each of the residents and working with local community groups provides a vibrant entertainment and events programme. The Home takes pride in offering a diverse and nutritious menu with home baking and tasty treats at mealtimes and throughout the day.
Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, volunteering for local services, and spending time around the north coast with my two dogs.
