About us

When you support Carebright you are a part of something really special; our ethos is to provide excellence in homecare and for persons living with dementia, while in parallel adding societal value to our community.

CareBright is a not for profit taking social enterprise. We have provided best practice homecare throughout Munster since 1998.  We currently provide homecare for over 400 clients and employ over 200 staff. Our ethos is to provide excellence in homecare and for persons living with dementia, while in parallel, adding societal value to the community.  It is from such deep roots and experience that the inspiration for our “community” was imagined.  We saw sixty percent of our homecare clients have varying degrees of dementia. For many of these clients, living at home was no longer an option. Hence, we began a journey to find the best alternative solution.

​

It is estimated that 55,000 people are living with dementia in Ireland and this is expected to more than double (115,000) within the next 20 years. These figures underline the urgency of planning now for the coming generation of people with dementia, and of seeing ways to mitigate its impact on those living with dementia, their families and the provision of services.

​

Many people who live with dementia are physically well, they are often on minimal medication and live very productive, healthy lifestyles.  Research has shown that by living in a household model; continuing routine tasks; having support from family and friends; and, educating the wider community you can reap major benefits for all involved.
