What We Do
Cheshire Ireland provides a range of support services to people with both physical and neurological conditions in their homes, in residential centres, in supported accommodation and in stand alone respite facilities. We provide our services to people often with very complex and high support needs.
Currently, Cheshire Ireland operate 24 centres and provide a range of community-based services in 15 counties in Ireland, employing almost 750 staff and serving over 330 people.
Our aim is to provide quality, person-centred services, which facilitate people with disabilities to live a life of their own choosing.
Cheshire Ireland has been established in Ireland for nearly 50 years, with our first centre opening in Ardeen, Shillelagh, Co. Wicklow in 1961. We are currently the biggest provider of supported accommodation in the country.
Mission Statement
“Working in partnership with people who use our services and with statutory and voluntary agencies, we provide quality accommodation and support services across Ireland to adults with, primarily, physical disabilities, acquired brain injuries and neurological conditions.
We are committed to developing our staff, the facilities we provide and our management processes to ensure we have the capability, knowledge and skills required to deliver cost effective, quality services in ways that respect every person’s rights, personal choice and individuality”.
