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

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.
