HOME SUPPORT SERVICE

The HSE Home Support Service ( formerly the Home Help Service ) aims to support older people to remain in their own homes for as long as possible and to support informal carers.

 

The Home Support Service provides you with support for everyday tasks including

• Getting in and out of bed
• Dressing and undressing
• Personal care such as showering and shaving

 

The support you will receive depends on your individual needs. These supports will be provided by the HSE or by an external provider, approved by the HSE.

Referrals are from PHN, GP or Hospital for those being discharged from hospital
