In 1967, St Monica’s opened and accommodated 120 elderly lady residents.

In 1990, St Monica’s was given a temporary licence to operate as a Nursing Home which was due to be phased out. The Eastern Health Board was to be responsible for placing the remaining residents (approx 19). In 1998, due to the shortage of Nursing Home beds on the North side of the City, the Eastern Health Board made strong representation to retain St Monica’s as a Nursing Home. Major capital investment was necessary to comply with the Nursing Home Regulation Act of 1993. The Eastern Health Board did not see their way to provide the funding, so the Sisters of Charity undertook to finance the major refurbishment at a cost of approx. €2 million.In 1998, St Monica’s was reopened to facilitate a maximum of forty six residents and a Day Care Centre that caters up to 12-15 clients per day.
