Core offering

Cheshire Ireland provides supported accommodation, community-based living support, and respite services for adults with physical, sensory, and neurological conditions across Ireland. Services are delivered in private homes, residential centres, community clusters, and standalone respite facilities, with access initiated through referrals from local HSE Disability Services Offices and core operational funding provided by the HSE.

Product overview

Cheshire Ireland operates as a coordinated portfolio of disability support services across Ireland, comprising residential centres, community living services, and respite facilities. The organization functions as a single unified service offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture.

Individual named locations include Abbey View Residences (Sligo), Donegal Cheshire Apartments, Galway Cheshire House, O’Dwyer Cheshire Home (Mayo), Wood View & Park View (Mayo), Kerry Cheshire, Rathfredagh Cheshire Home (Limerick), Waterford Cheshire, Cork Supported Accommodation Services, Limerick Community Service, Greystones Cheshire (Wicklow), and Wolseley Lodge (Carlow). The HSE is the main funder with additional support from donations and bequests.
