Live-in Care Services – Overview

Our Live-in Care service enables individuals to remain living safely, comfortably and with dignity in their own homes, regardless of age, disability or complexity of need. By providing consistent, one-to-one support within a familiar environment, Live-in Care promotes independence, emotional well-being and continuity of care, while reducing the need for hospital admission or residential placement.

Care is delivered by trained, vetted and supervised Care Assistants who reside in the service user’s home and provide support in accordance with an agreed, person-centred care plan. All care is delivered in line with HSE standards, safeguarding requirements and best practice in health and social care.
