Highfield and Hampstead Private Hospitals
Background
Hampstead, Highfield, Elmhurst and the Alzheimer Care Centre are set in the grounds of the historic Hampstead Castle estate, bordered by Glasnevin and Drumcondra. These elegant buildings, surrounded by mature, landscaped gardens and walks are situated within half a mile of each other. The estate covers 65 acres of unspoiled, private farm and parkland and offers rural calm and repose.
Care Provided
Hampstead and Highfield provide short and long-term care for male and female patients respectively. The hospitals offer a comfortable and congenial environment for the aged and infirm or chronically ill patient. Hampstead and Highfield also act as a day-care or respite facility for those who may need a brief stay, while family members are travelling, at work, or on holiday. Families are welcome to visit, meet the staff and view the facilities.
Accommodation
Hampstead and Highfield provide the highest standards of patient care in surroundings of comfort safety and privacy. In Highfield where some bedrooms are located on upper floors, a lift has been installed to give patients easier access to day rooms and gardens.
Bedrooms are single or shared and are tastefully decorated with many overlooking the expansive gardens. The sitting rooms in Hampstead and Highfield are large, bright and comfortably furnished. Here patients can read, watch television or simply relax. The dining rooms reflect an atmosphere of old world elegance and, like most rooms throughout the hospital, offer splendid garden views.
