Our mission is to provide a service to older people, to assist families in times of illness and stress and to nurture and enable the vulnerable to maintain dignity and quality of life in their own homes and community. Operating within a designated area of North Dublin and subject to the resources available to us, the aim of the NHCS is to provide quality home help and care at home in the form of support with the tasks of everyday living, to individual clients of all ages, and families who, because of infirmity, frailty, disability or special circumstances, need such care to maintain a quality of life that might otherwise be beyond their ability to sustain. Our ethos is to embrace a holistic approach to caring in a professional, compassionate and pleasant way that fully respects each person’s individuality, dignity and privacy, while at the same time encouraging those that we help to help themselves so as to promote independence.
