About Carelocal

Our Mission

Our priority is to help people to stay in their own homes as long as possible and to ensure that they remain in good form, both mentally and physically.

We aim to

  • Ensure the quality of life of older people is maintained during the years of retirement.
  • Raise awareness of the needs of older people, identifying gaps in the provision of services.
  • Promote interests of older people and put ageing and older people firmly on the political agenda.
  • Improve the quality of life for frail, older, or disabled persons and reduce the need for stays in hospital.
  • Provide direct access to information and practical advice about local respite facilities and financial help.
  • Where older people find it difficult to articulate their wishes and make informed choices, empower them to be more aware of their rights and how to exercise them.
  • Form links to help bring about intervention when needed.

The Community Foundation of Ireland

A special thank you to the Community Foundation. Through their generosity, Care Local and our community collaborators in the Stoneybatter area, developed an Older Men’s Committee, focusing on the needs of older, isolated men. The Older Men’s Drop-in Centre resulted from the input and leadership of these men.
