The RHS Home Care Advantage: What Sets Us Apart from the Rest 💙

At RHS Home Care, we have been providing quality-driven home care services to older people and individuals with varying health needs since 1996. For nearly 30 years, we have supported people across Roscommon, Galway, Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim to live independently, safely, and comfortably in their own homes.

What truly sets RHS Home Care apart is our not-for-profit status. Unlike commercial providers, all of our resources are reinvested into enhancing and expanding our services, while supporting both our clients and our carers. Our focus is always on delivering the highest standard of care, not on generating profit.

We believe in the importance of personalised care. Every care plan is tailored to the individual, ensuring each person receives the right level of support to live with dignity, independence, and confidence in their own home.

Our carers are carefully selected from the local communities we serve. This local approach allows them to build strong, meaningful relationships with clients and stay actively connected within their communities. Care at RHS is about more than tasks. It is about connection, compassion, and helping people feel supported and involved.

Discover what makes RHS Home Care different and why families across the West of Ireland continue to trust us.
