Home care where the Boyne meets the Blackwater
Navan is the county town of Meath, where the rivers Boyne and Blackwater meet, and one of the fastest-growing towns in the country, with Tara and the Boyne Valley close by. Families searching for home care in Navan are supporting parents in the town centre around Trimgate Street and the Market Square, in Johnstown and Athlumney across the Boyne, in Blackcastle and Beechmount, and in Kentstown, Kells, Slane, Trim and Donaghmore. Many families here commute to Dublin all day. A carer who lives in means someone is always there.
We also arrange care in Drogheda, Maynooth, Balbriggan, Mullingar, Dundalk and Cavan.
Our Lady's in Navan, and Drogheda
Our Lady's Hospital in Navan provides emergency, medical and day services, while Our Lady of Lourdes in Drogheda is the main acute hospital for the region, and some residents in the south are treated at Connolly in Blanchardstown. A live-in carer in Navan arranged in advance can help your relative come home as soon as they are medically ready.
HSE home support in Meath
Meath County Council is based in Navan, but home support is arranged through the HSE, not the council, and families often find the hours approved are far short of what is needed. The council can help with home adaptation grants. Fair Deal pays towards nursing homes, not care at home. Many families combine HSE hours with private live-in care, which we quote in euros, from €1,400 a week.
The Boyne, Tara and the racecourse
The riverside walks along the Boyne, Athlumney Castle, a race day at Navan, the Solstice Arts Centre and a drive to the Hill of Tara or Slane are favourite outings. Many older people here worked at Tara Mines, in the furniture and carpet factories or on the farms of the Royal County. Mass and the GAA keep them connected. 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.

- Enhanced DBS checked, with references verified
- You meet and approve your carer before they start
