Residents and staff of McAuley Place, the innovative Naas independent living centre, were delighted to accept an offer by Sanctuarysynthetics.ie to transform part of their dull grey courtyard area beside the apartments into a safe and alternative artificial lawn.

Mark Hazzard, General Manager of McAuley Place said: “We’ve long wanted to do something to enhance this area, immediately outside some of the ground floor apartments and were delighted when Mark O’Loughlin MD at Sanctuary Synthetics approached us.”

Worth over €7,000, the Sanctuary team transformed the courtyard area in one day and covered 20 timber balconies that became slippery when wet. “It’s nice to be able to contribute” said Mark O’Loughlin. “I’ve watched the community-led McAuley Place over the years and by putting in our synthetic grass, I feel it adds a nice finishing touch. Moreover, we got all our 15-staff involved, including the girls in the office, so it really was a team effort and a nice end to the year.”

McAuley Place housing development, which opened in Spring 2011, consists of 53 self-contained apartments in the centre of Naas town, on the grounds of the former Convent of Mercy.

It is a managed service providing centrally located housing for older people who are capable of independent living. McAuley Place’s mission is to provide independent living for elderly people in the heart of a vibrant community. The vibrant community within McAuley Place consists of Convent Tea Rooms, the Arts and Culture Centre, located in the old nun’s chapel.

The Community Centre hosts many activities from kindermusik to active retirement and everything in between. There are meeting rooms, a music room, counselling rooms and a board room.
