Live-In Care and Home Support in North Cork, Limerick and Kerry

With live-in care, one carer moves into your home and is there day and night, with agreed breaks and relief cover so your care never has a gap. With home support visits, carers call at set times, from a short morning visit to several visits a day.

Live-in care suits people who need help through the night, who should not be left alone, or who are at risk of falls and confusion. Visits suit people who are mostly independent but need support with washing, meals and company. We will help you pick the right level, and we can change it as your needs change.

For many people it can be. If your home is safe and you want to stay in it, live-in care gives you one-to-one attention, your own routine and your own surroundings. It is not right for every situation, particularly where someone needs round-the-clock nursing care, and we will tell you honestly if we think another setting would suit you better.

Nursing home costs, including support through the Fair Deal scheme, are a separate matter, so ask us for a clear written quote and compare it with the other options on the table.

It depends on the kind of care and on carer availability in your area. We will give you a realistic start date on the first phone call, and we prioritise urgent situations such as a hospital discharge.

Yes. Every carer is Garda vetted and has references checked before their first visit. New carers complete an induction, shadow an experienced colleague and are supervised and spot-checked once they start. A registered nurse oversees clinical standards, and carers get extra training for needs such as dementia.

Families pay in different ways. Some people receive State-funded home support arranged through their local health office or public health nurse. Others pay privately, and some home care costs may qualify for tax relief, so ask Revenue or your accountant what applies to you.

Whatever route you take, we give you the full cost in writing before care begins, with no hidden extras.
