Meet The Manager
Martin Creaney is Manager at Kirknowe Nursing Home.
Located in a peaceful residential community in Wishaw, Kirknowe is a friendly care home with 90 beds that offers nursing and nursing dementia care.
Kirknowe recently underwent an extensive refurbishment programme which transformed communal areas including dining rooms, lounges/day rooms, reception area, bathrooms and corridors. During the refurbishment, each area was thoughtfully designed to enhance the daily life of every Resident and support the mind, body and soul.

The carers and Residents at Kirknowe enjoy playing an important part in their local community. The home encourages an atmosphere of fun and inclusion and runs a weekly programme of events, which includes talks and demonstrations from local people willing to share their knowledge and talents. Performers from the area regularly visit and entertain Residents with songs, sketches, singing and dancing, and members of neighbourhood groups, volunteers and other locals often drop in for a cup of tea and a chat. Assisted by suggestions from our Residents, our home’s Wellbeing Coordinators organise a varied year round programme of things to do. Many Residents take pleasure in hobbies, including baking, writing, gardening, dancing, painting, quizzes, and playing chess. Some enjoy being a member of the Residents’ forum. |
