Day service

Kare's day services, also known as local services, run from Monday to Friday in many different locations.

Our day services help people to live a life of choice, by providing them with opportunities to connect with others, take part in activities and develop skills.

People are empowered to do things independently, including further education and work, opportunities for sport, recreation and other health and wellbeing activities.

Outreach

Outreach is our 'service without walls'.

Rather than coming to a Kare day service, the Outreach team works with a person in their own home or local area to support them with what they want to do.

This may be work, further education, personal development projects, or however they choose to live their lives. 

Employment

Our Supported Employment team helps people to find a job that suits their own skills and interests, and provides support along the way as they learn how to succeed in the role.

Learning

We provide a range of courses to support personal and professional development.

Our courses are aligned to the individual's interests and needs. We offer QQI accredited courses and interest-led learning groups, as well as specific programmes about tranisitioning in Kare services. 

Residential 

Kare provides many living options for the people we support. 

Our goal is to provide people with a place that they can call home.

Short breaks

Kare provides short break or respite services in our houses in Kildare, Athy and Ballymore Eustace, as well as alternative respite in the community. 

Access to our respite services is determined by individual needs.
