Glebe Care Centre is situated in Newtownabbey with views of Cavehill. Offering specialist brain injury care to residents on a permanent or respite basis, this care centre is perfect for those who enjoy the outdoors.

With beautiful gardens, residents can enjoy leisurely walks or games arranged by our activities co-ordinator. At Glebe Care Centre, we want residents to have the freedom to choose what to do and when – and there’s plenty to keep them occupied. We run a full programme of activities including quizzes, sing-alongs, reminiscence therapy, indoor games, art and craft, baking and, wherever possible, trips out and about.

Our philosophy is simple – we want everyone to enjoy life to the full. Our team of highly trained professionals never forgets that all residents are individuals and we treat them with dignity, privacy and respect, offering them as much freedom as possible.

Friends and family are welcome at any time to enjoy a meal with their loved one or take part in one of the many activities. Hot drinks and snacks are always available and our cook prepares three nutritious meals a day. The menu changes regularly to reflect seasonal produce. Special diets are catered for.

Cristina Chimixis, Acting Home Manager

In 2014 I qualified as a Registered General Nurse in Romania.  A short time after qualifying I relocated to Northern Ireland and began working within the Independent Sector in March 2015.

I joined the Larchwood Care NI family in March 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic and a very challenging period for humanity.  I have had the honour and privilege to help in giving back as much care to residents as possible along with my love and joy, in a Care Home that I have worked for more than two years as a Registered Nurse.

In 2022 I was promoted to the position of Acting Home Manager in Dunanney Care Home to lead a dedicated team of nursing, care and ancillary staff to develop a place where the residents can call  ‘a home from home.’   I am passionate that resident’s dear ones to come and spend as much time as they feel able to.  I am open to suggestions on how we can meet each and every individual’s needs as I believe that good care means open communication between all stakeholders.

Testimonials
We can’t thank the staff at Glebe Care Centre enough for looking after our father during the last years of his life. A keen gardener, he loved spending time in the beautiful gardens and he was always kept busy with games, activities and special days out.
I looked at lots of different care homes for my mum but it was only when I visited Glebe Care Centre that I thought it was the right fit. The staff, the homely atmosphere, the gardens and activities were just what we were looking for – and best of all my mum loves her new home.
