Description

Cheshire Ireland provides supported accommodation, respite and community services to adults with physical disabilities. We currently operate 18 centres around the country with new accommodation and respite services in the course of development.

The Cheshire ethos is one of supporting people in their individual choices as to how they lead theirlives. We listen to people with disabilities and respond to their wishes and needs in ways that respect individuality and maximise opportunities for choice.


Services
The first Cheshire service in Ireland opened in Shillelagh, Co. Wicklow in 1961. This was followed in 1963 by the incorporation of the Cheshire Foundation in Ireland. The Foundation is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. Operating under the name of Cheshire Ireland, we currently operate 15 accommodation centres around Ireland, including residential respite services, together with an evolving range of community services. In general, Cheshire provides services to adults with physical disabilities. However, we also provide services to some people who have learning disabilities, acquired brain injuries or progressive neurological conditions.
