Home care in Kildare's county town
Naas is the county town of Kildare, an old market and racing town that has grown quickly into one of the largest commuter towns near Dublin. Families searching for home care in Naas are supporting parents along Main Street and around the Harbour, in the older estates on the Sallins and Newbridge roads, in Jigginstown and Ladytown, and in Sallins, Johnstown, Kill, Two Mile House and Caragh. Many families here commute to Dublin all day, leaving older parents alone at home. A carer who lives in means someone is always there.
We also arrange care in Newbridge, Celbridge, Maynooth, Leixlip, Portlaoise and Dublin.
Naas General, in the town
Naas General Hospital provides emergency and inpatient care for much of Kildare and west Wicklow, with specialist treatment at Tallaght University Hospital, St James's or the other Dublin hospitals. A live-in carer in Naas 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.
Home support and Kildare County Council
Kildare County Council has its headquarters in Naas, but home support is arranged through the HSE rather than the council, and the approved hours often cover only short calls. The council does run grants for adapting a home for an older person. A family carer may qualify for Carer's Allowance, and Fair Deal helps with nursing homes only. We quote private live-in care in euros, from €1,400 a week.
Punchestown, the canal and the Harbour
Race days at Punchestown and Naas, the Grand Canal towpath at Sallins, the old canal harbour in the town and a drive into the Wicklow hills are favourite outings. Many older people here farmed, worked with horses or in the town's businesses, and 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.
