Sonas

Sonas is an Irish nursing home provider focused on delivering high standards of care and a meaningful quality of life for residents. Founded in 2001, the organisation has grown from its first home in Cloverhill to a network of 12 nursing homes across seven counties: Carlow, Kerry, Mayo, Roscommon, Sligo, Tipperary and Westmeath. Its name means “happiness” in Irish, reflecting a vision of supportive, respectful communities where residents can make choices, stay connected with family and friends, and take part in daily life.

Sonas provides long-term residential, dementia, convalescent, respite and palliative care. Its homes also offer physiotherapy programmes and organised activities, with services such as hairdressing, chiropody, opticians and occupational therapy available on site or by arrangement. The organisation describes its facilities as modern and safe, supported by trained, experienced teams guided by values including empathy, advocacy, warmth, energy, empowerment and teamwork. Sonas also offers career opportunities and employee support, including induction, assistance programmes, discounts and recognition awards.
