Management & Ethos of the Meath Epilepsy Trust

The Meath functions on a simple premise. We constantly strive to provide our residents with the most professional care and support that we can in an an environment as close to home as we can make it.

We respect absolutely the rights of each and every one of our residents to privacy and freedom. We are here to give people who have epilepsy and other disabling problems the chance to understand and manage their illness and to live a full and satisfying life.

To encourage interaction between our residents and to create a homely environment, accommodation is broken down into 7 separate units, each with its own kitchen, lounge and separate bedrooms. Residents are encouraged to participate in the management of their unit and frequently meet with staff to discuss social activities and plans for improvement.

Each unit has a nominated staff team consisting of a manager, senior staff member and support staff. Every resident has their own key worker.
