Home care in the seaside village of north Dublin
Malahide is a handsome seaside village on the north Dublin coast, with a marina, a medieval castle in its parkland and the long Velvet Strand at Portmarnock next door. Families searching for home care in Malahide are supporting parents in the village and around New Street and the Green, along the Coast Road and at Robswall, in Yellow Walls and Seapark, in Feltrim and the estates towards Swords, and in Kinsealy and Portmarnock. Many older residents live in large family homes with stairs and gardens. A carer who lives in lets your relative stay in the home they love.
We also arrange care in Swords, Balbriggan, Dublin, Drogheda, Leixlip and Bray.
Beaumont Hospital
Emergency and inpatient care for Malahide is usually at Beaumont Hospital on the north side of Dublin, with some residents treated at the Mater or Connolly, and many families here also use private hospitals such as the Beacon or the Bon Secours. A live-in carer in Malahide arranged in advance can help your relative come home as soon as they are medically ready.
Private care alongside HSE support
Home support in Malahide is arranged by the HSE, not Fingal County Council, and the hours offered are rarely enough for someone who needs help at night. Many Malahide families pay privately, and some combine private care with HSE hours or with Carer's Allowance for a family carer. Fair Deal covers nursing home fees only. We quote live-in care in euros, from €1,400 a week.
The castle, the marina and the Velvet Strand
The gardens and parkland of Malahide Castle, a stroll around the marina and along the coast road, and the Velvet Strand at Portmarnock are favourite outings, and the DART makes it easy for family to visit from the city. Many older people here retired after careers in Dublin and 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.
