Community Services

Our daily call services take the worry off your shoulders about the condition of your parent, elderly relative or loved one who lives alone? You may be worrying that something may have happened since the last time you had a chance to speak with them. Our daily call service provides you with the solution.

We offer a full range of support for people with Dementia including clinics that are part of our Hubs. We understand the specific challenges faced by people living with dementia and ensure our teams are able to provide professional and compassionate care and support.

We do everything we can to ensure that anyone who enters our residential services maintains their independence and overall health. Our residential care homes provide a safe, warm and friendly environment with support for daily tasks such as washing, cleaning and laundry. In our homes, we work to create a welcoming atmosphere in which residents enjoy activities, go on outings and make friends with other residents.

However, we recognise that residents have very individual requirements and our care homes provide a range of care services to help meet these needs, this includes a multi-disciplinary team to manage each resident’s healthcare. All of our nursing homes will be linked by secure video to the hospitals that agree to allow consultations with nurses and consultants both in and out of normal hours – for everything from cuts and bumps to diabetes management to the onset of confusion. We are working with the wider Health economy to reduce emergency admissions from these homes and also to ensure that we do everything we can to ensure the highest levels of clinical excellence for our users.

We provide nursing care for individuals with specialist requirements in many of our care homes or at home. Our nursing care teams are fully qualified and have the specialist expertise required to care for varying medical needs and requirements. People who come to us may be living with conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis or Motor Neurone Disease; others may have suffered a brain injury as a result of an accident or require ventilator care.

We firmly believe that everyone deserves dignity and respect as they approach the end of their life and we provide sensitive and compassionate end-of-life care through many of our care homes. Indeed, a number of our care homes have been accredited with the Gold Standards Framework for excellence in end-of-life care.

Our day clubs provide a friendly and stimulating home-away-from-home for people who are still living at home, but who may need some additional support during the day. Many of our clubs provide care for people with dementia, physical frailty or simply those who want a more active social environment. Our day clubs give people the opportunity to socialise with friends and engage in a range of activities while their family carers have the peace of mind of knowing they are safe and cared for.

We understand how difficult it can be for families or friends providing ongoing care. For this reason it's important to occasionally find time for yourself. Our respite care services provide a crucial break for carers, either for just a few hours with a visit to one of our day clubs or an overnight stay in a care home for a few days or a few weeks. This offers family carers the chance to do daily chores, go on holiday or simply have some well-earned time off. We also provide convalescent care, to help people who need to recuperate after a hospital stay and to support them to be well enough to go back home.

You can now benefit from an appointment with a GP, an advanced nurse practitioner or a practice nurse, in the evenings and at weekends at one of four healthcare hubs in the city. GPs and other healthcare staff operate from four modern sites providing many of the tests, investigations, minor injuries and minor surgery usually provided in hospital. It shows what can be done when general practice operates at scale. Better results, better care, and a better experience for patients and significant savings.

Digital GP is ideal for situations where you need medical advice but you do not believe a face to face appointment is required. Telephone consultations are becoming very common in general practice and are ideal for situations where you do not believe you will need to be examined or where you find it difficult to attend in person. During the consultation, if the GP would like you to be seen face to face, an appointment would be made for you at one of the four healthcare hubs

The CCCT was established with one adult patient with complex needs whose family had chosen to support their wish, not to go into a nursing home following a stroke. Since then, it has evolved and grown to support both children and adults, all with varying complex needs. For example, a number of our patients have tracheostomies, gastrostomies and some require different levels of ventilation support (including overnight) Medications are administered though PEG and RIG tubes and we develop support programmes to manage Constance as well as physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech and language. The patient age range is from birth to adults and we accept both privately funded or public patients. Our staff are responsible for the provision of high-quality care for patients in their own homes.
The team cover a wide geographical area with patients located across Dublin and the South East of Ireland. The technology we use in our Virtual Ward can offer enhanced clinical support to patients. This has enabled us to reduce the cost of care packages and ensure with some rotation as required by the needs of the service.

We provide a 24/7 On Call service across all locations which is supported by a Qualified Nurse on a rotational weekly basis.
Complex Care Nurses manage their own packages including a team of Complex Care Support Workers. This includes planning off duty rotas and day to day management. They are also responsible for providing regular weekly contact, monthly Clinical Supervision sessions, Competencies, annual Appraisals and any training requirements (including Mandatory and Statutory Training).
CCCT aims to support families and empower them to care safely for children and adults who have continuing complex healthcare needs and require 1:1 support. The team aims to minimize risks to individuals and enhance quality of life, allowing them to live / work or be educated in their chosen environment.
All CCCT staff are bound by a Code of Conduct which outlines expected behaviours and conduct.
