What happens next
A quote on the first call
We ring you, talk through what your loved one needs, answer your questions and give you a quote on that first call.
We build the care plan
Our care management team builds the plan with you, covering the days, the hours and what the carer will help with.
You meet your carer first
We match a Garda-vetted carer, employed and insured by us. Your family meets them online before care starts, so they are a familiar face from day one.
How a carer can help at home
You can start with one kind of care and adjust it as things change. Your care manager plans it with you, alongside any HSE hours you already have.
Live-in care
A carer lives in your home, helps through the day and sleeps in at night, close by if your loved one needs them. 24-hour care is also available.
Daytime care
Set hours of help through the day with personal care, meals, medication prompts, company and getting to appointments.
Overnight care
A waking carer is on hand through the night for trips to the bathroom, a drink, or help settling back to sleep.
Respite care
Short-term cover at home so a family carer can take a proper break, planned ahead or at shorter notice when things change.
What our carers do, and the three things they don’t
Day to day, our carers help with
Washing, dressing and personal care
Meals and drinks
Medication prompts and reminders
Getting about the home safely
Company and a steady routine
Getting to appointments
Light housework and laundry
A break for family carers
Our carers don’t give injections, dress wounds or administer insulin.
Medical care stays with your GP and public health nurse, and we work alongside them.
For everything else, talk it through with your care manager.
They’re nurse-trained, and they’ll tell you plainly what a carer can take on.
What families say
“Excellent experience with providing 24/7 care for my mother in her own home. Alice has been superb in every aspect of my mams care and has seamlessly slotted into her role. Based on the last 3 weeks would highly recommend UIH”
Donal Massey, Google review
“Had to get a carer for a family member and UIH couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. Nice balance between checking on your needs vs giving you space to make the decision. Would recommend.”
“My experience with united Healthcare was good. I was able to get cover at short notice for a week and the lady sent was caring and attentive. I will use again”
