The opening of two dedicated respite services in East Cork for persons with intellectual disabilities has been announced by the Talbot Group.
The newly developed children’s respite service at Parc an Chosain in Ladysbridge and the adult respite service at Ballybranagh in Cloyne, will provide essential, person-centred respite care. These services will be an invaluable support for service users and their families.
Respite services play a vital role in supporting families by offering their family member short-term, high-quality care in a safe, welcoming environment. These services give caregivers the opportunity to rest and recharge, while children and adults benefit from enriching experiences that foster independence, social development, and confidence.
The new facilities, funded by HSE South West, will operate seven days a week for 363 days each year. Talbot Group will work closely with HSE South West to ensure the service is delivered to meet existing and emerging needs particularly where emergency support is required for people and their families.
