What is home help?
Home help services are provided in order to assist people to remain in their own home and to avoid going in to long-term care. However, the HSE is not legally obliged to provide these services. In practice, the HSE either provides the home help service directly or make arrangements with voluntary organisations to provide them.
How do you apply?
You should apply to the local Public Health Nurse who assesses your need for the service and then processes the application to your Local Health Office.
