Your caring affordable home care service

Kerry Respite Care was founded in 2002 and has cared for thousands of older people, people with disabilities and chronic illness throughout Kerry. We are dedicated to helping people remain living at home independently and to supporting those caring for a friend or relative at home. We understand that most people prefer to maintain their independence, home comforts and social networks by remaining in their own homes for as long as possible. It can be a very difficult and emotive decision to acknowledge the need for additional support to enable continued independence and quality of life. Getting some care at home can be an important first step to continue living at home. Our team of dedicated, friendly and compassionate Health Care Workers are the heart of our service. All are qualified, experienced, reference checked, insured, Garda vetted and receiving ongoing training and support. Talk to us at 066 7102796 or email info@kerryrespitecare.ie. Kerry Respite Care is a social enterprise and a registered charity RCN 20052409 CHY 15290. We are supported by the Department of Rural and Community Development and Pobal through the Community Services Programme.
