Home Care Package Providers

From the 1st September 2016 all new Home Care Packages approved by the HSE will be provided by organisations that have been approved by the HSE following a detailed tender process.
The 32 approved providers, appointed under the 2016 tender process meet a required level of national standards. However it is important to note that existing providers also provide a quality service work under agreed standards, which are monitored by staff in the local health office.

Services may be provided directly by the HSE by its own staff, for example, home help workers and nurses, by voluntary providers operating on behalf of the HSE or by private care providers.

Many of these facilities are adjacent to Nursing Homes and allow residents to lead a completely active and independent lifestyle with all the comforts of modern living in a secure and friendly environment.

A number of following services and features are provided as a standard part of their rental/leasing agreement:
