El Shammah Residential Home is situated in Lisburn, overlooking Wallace Park and within a few minutes’ walk to the city centre. The main building was built in 1885 and used as a Gentleman’s Residence until 1998. The maid’s quarters, stables and courtyard were then demolished, and the property was renovated and extended to enable it to be used as a residential care home. A further extension and renovation were carried out in 2014.

 

El Shammah offers a safe, clean, relaxed, and homely environment. The thirty-three bedrooms are all single, with thirty-one being en-suite and several of the rooms overlooking Wallace Park. There are three communal lounges and one dining room, where residents have the opportunity to socialise with other residents and take part in activities.

 

Our team of housekeepers, catering staff and care staff provide a high standard of care, and aim to make residents’ stay comfortable and enjoyable, while adhering to the ‘Charter of Patients’ Rights’ which acknowledges the six core values of privacy, dignity, choice, rights, fulfilment and independence.
