Home care in north Wexford
Gorey is a busy market town in north Wexford, below Tara Hill and a few miles from the beaches at Courtown, and it has grown quickly as a commuter town for Dublin. Families searching for home care in Gorey are supporting parents along Main Street and around the market house, in Ramsfort and the estates on the edge of town, in Courtown and Riverchapel on the coast, and in Ballymoney, Castletown, Ballycanew, Kilanerin and Ferns. Many families here commute all day, leaving older parents alone. A carer who lives in means someone is always there.
We also arrange care in Arklow, Wexford, Wicklow East, New Ross, Carlow and Kilkenny.
Wexford General, or Dublin
Emergency and inpatient care for Gorey is usually at Wexford General Hospital, with some residents in the north treated at St Vincent's or St Columcille's in Dublin, and specialist care at University Hospital Waterford. A live-in carer in Gorey arranged in advance can help your relative come home as soon as they are medically ready, without waiting for home support hours to be approved.
HSE home support in north Wexford
Home support in Gorey is arranged by the HSE, not Wexford County Council, and the approved hours are often a few short calls rather than the help someone actually needs. Wexford County Council runs the Housing Adaptation Grant for Older People. Fair Deal pays towards nursing homes, not care at home. We quote private live-in care in euros, from €1,400 a week.
Courtown, Tara Hill and Wells House
The harbour and woods at Courtown, the beaches at Ballymoney, the view from Tara Hill and the gardens of Wells House are favourite outings, and Ramsfort Park is a quiet spot in town. Many older people here have farmed all their lives or worked in the town's shops and factories. Mass and the GAA keep them connected. Families often have children abroad, so we agree how the carer keeps you updated. You choose your carer from matched profiles before anything is agreed.

Funding & regulation
Paying for care in Ireland
Home care is regulated and funded differently in each nation, so the route is not the same everywhere. Here is how it works where you live.
Read our full funding guide →Who regulates care here
Home care in Ireland is regulated by the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA). They inspect and register home care services to make sure standards are met.
Where funding comes from
Apply through the Health Service Executive (HSE). Home care support is arranged through the HSE, and residential care costs can be offset through the Nursing Homes Support Scheme (Fair Deal) — a distinct system from the UK, and costs are quoted in euro (EUR).
How we fit in
Live-in Care Direct is an introductory agency. We introduce self-employed carers to families rather than employing them, so you contract directly with your carer and keep the choice of who provides your care.
