LETTERKENNY, CO. DONEGAL — Irish Homecare has officially opened its new regional office at Riverside Retail& Office Park on Neil T. Blaney Road to address the escalating demand for home care services in theNorth-West. The new facility was officially opened by the Mayor of Letterkenny Cllr Pauric McGarvey alongside Irish HomeCare CEO Teresa Boylan-McNally.
Currently employing over 150 people locally, the Letterkenny branch is already playing a vital role in the community, supporting more than 350 residents across Donegal. The service lets individuals stay in the comfort and safety of their own homes through tailored care plans designed to meet their specific needs and preferences.
To meet the region’s continued need for dedicated care professionals, Irish Homecare has announced plans to recruit an additional 50 carers locally over the coming months. As a registered training centre, the organisation provides fully accredited training for anyone looking to begin a rewarding career in care, making sure new recruits are fully supported from day one.
“Demand for home care is growing right across Ireland, and nowhere is that felt more than in rural counties like Donegal,” said Teresa Boylan-McNally, CEO of Irish Homecare. “Opening an office here in Letterkenny is about being part of the community, not just serving it. We are honoured to be partnered with the HSE to make this happen. Care is so much more than it appears. Behind every familiar face at the door is a skilled professional who helps keep people safe, well and independent at home. By investing in our carers, we raise the standard of care, and that’s the promise we’re bringing to Donegal.”
The new office serves as a dedicated hub for the region’s care network, making sure staff and clients have strong local support.
Brendan Peoples, Area Service Manager for the North-West, highlighted the importance of this local presence :”Having our own office in Donegal means our team is right here, close to the people we care for and the carers who make it happen. Our carers are local people who know these roads and these communities, and they bring that knowledge into every home they visit. We’re already looking to grow our team across the county. If you’ve ever thought about a career in care, now is a great time to get in touch.”
