The Care Team

What The Care Team does

The Care Team is a privately held, Dublin-based home healthcare services provider founded in 2013, operating across South Dublin. The company delivers six core service lines — Home Help, Convalescent/Respite Care, Sleeping Night Care, Waking Night Care, Dementia Care, and Live-In Care — through professional caregivers who visit or reside with clients in their own homes. Services are coordinated by Client Assessment Coordinators, overseen by Client Supervisors, and managed under a broader leadership team including a Client Care Director, Client Services Manager, and Quality and Safety Training Officer.

The company operates on a dual-channel revenue model. The first stream is HSE (Health Service Executive) Home Care Packages, where the number of funded hours is determined by local public health nurses and care is delivered under HSE supervision. The second stream is private fee-for-service care, offering personalized home help, overnight care, dementia care, and live-in care on a quote basis. There is no proprietary technology platform; the model is built on traditional field care delivery, rostering, and supervision rather than a software layer. All staff are Garda vetted, professionally registered where applicable, and certified in CPR and Manual Handling.

Go-to-market is referral- and inquiry-driven: prospective clients contact the company via phone, email, or website form, or are referred by public health nurses through the HSE assessment process. Marketing is primarily organic — a service-led website, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn presence, an email newsletter, and earned media through Irish Healthcare Centre Awards (2015 winner, 2024 Private Provider of the Year) and Image magazine coverage. The company is bootstrapped and owner-operated, with Directors Amy Walshe and Michael Lima, and Clinical Director Cora Murphy; no institutional capital or parent entity is disclosed.
