Life at Garville Private
Garville Private specialises in long‑term residential care, offering a warm, home‑from‑home environment supported by modern design, exceptional facilities and a strong commitment to resident wellbeing. Formerly Orwell Queen of Peace and acquired by Orwell Healthcare in 2017, the centre has now been fully redeveloped into a 156‑bed, state‑of‑the‑art residence—featuring elegant ensuite bedrooms, secure outdoor spaces and a stunning rooftop garden with panoramic views of Dublin.
Welcoming residents in May 2026.
Accommodation
We believe you should enjoy all the comforts of home and our accommodation reflects this at every conceivable opportunity.
From bright airy bedrooms to large common areas it is a lovely environment to spend time with open access to our rooftop garden everyday.
Facilities
Garville Private has a vibrant Activities Team who work with Residents to create the sort of lifestyle that you would have been living at home. Some of the activities include cards, bowls and arts & crafts as well as an extensive musical programme.
We encourage outings of all descriptions, and we’re happy to listen to any requests from our residents in terms of organising visits to the locality and further afield. We have our own wheelchair accessible minibus so we like to make the most of it. The minibus is also available to families for short trips.

At Garville Private, the kettle is always on and you can enjoy elevenses, a mid afternoon cuppa, a drink before bedtime, or even bake when the grandkids come to visit.
We are happy to discuss any special dietary requirements and will cater for individuals who may require specific diets, such as vegetarian, diabetic, coeliac, low fat etc.
