Healthy Age Friendly Homes Programme

Healthy Age Friendly Homes Programme

The National Programme is delivered across all 31 Local Authorities and has at least one local support coordinator in each Local Authority. 


The Healthy Age Friendly Homes Programme aims to support older people to live in their own home with dignity and independence, for as long as possible. The programme’s ambition is to enable everyone to live longer healthier lives by keeping care close to home and expanding the range of health and social care services in the community.  It is about providing a range of alternatives for older people who may otherwise transition into long term residential care prematurely. 

To do this, we have appointed a Local Healthy Age Friendly Homes Coordinator in all local authorities.  Each Local Coordinator will case manage a support package for each person referred, linking the supports from the variety of public, voluntary, private and community agencies in the area.

The purpose of this referral is to identify an older person, over 65, who could benefit from some extra help and support in order to continue living in their own home.  The Local Coordinator will carry out a free home-based assessment and, in partnership with the older person, will identify and design a range of supports to enable the older person to continue living independently.  This will not affect any current home help, medical card, pension, or other services being received.

Clár um Thithe Sláintiúla Aoisbháúla 

Cuirtear an Clár Náisiúnta ar fáil ar fud na 31 Údarás Áitiúil agus tá ar a laghad comhordaitheoir tacaíochta áitiúil amháin i ngach Údarás Áitiúil. 

Tá sé mar aidhm ag Clár um Thithe Sláintiúla Aoisbháúla tacú le daoine scothaosta maireachtáil ina dteach féin le dínit agus neamhspleáchas, chomh fada agus is féidir. Is í uaillmhian an chláir cur ar chumas gach duine saolta sláintiúla níos faide a bheith acu trí chúram a choinneáil gar don bhaile agus trí raon na seirbhísí sláinte agus cúraim shóisialta sa phobal a mhéadú.  Is éard atá i gceist leis ná raon roghanna eile a sholáthar do dhaoine scothaosta a d’fhéadfadh aistriú go cúram cónaitheach fadtéarmach roimh am murach sin. 

D’fhonn é sin a dhéanamh, tá Comhordaitheoir Áitiúil Tithe Sláintiúla Aoisbháúla ceaptha againn i ngach údarás áitiúil. Déanfaidh gach Comhordaitheoir Áitiúil cásbhainistiú ar phacáiste tacaíochta do gach duine a atreoraítear, ag nascadh na dtacaíochtaí ó na gníomhaireachtaí poiblí, deonacha, príobháideacha agus pobail éagsúla sa cheantar.

Is é cuspóir an atreoraithe seo duine scothaosta, os cionn 65, a aithint, a d’fhéadfadh leas a bhaint as cúnamh agus tacaíocht bhreise chun leanúint ar aghaidh ag maireachtáil ina dteach féin. Déanfaidh an Comhordaitheoir Áitiúil measúnú baile saor in aisce agus, i gcomhar leis an duine scothaosta, sainaithneoidh agus dearfaidh sé/sí raon tacaíochtaí le cur ar chumas an duine scothaosta maireachtáil go neamhspleách. Ní chuirfidh sé seo isteach ar aon chúnamh baile reatha, cárta leighis, pinsean, nó seirbhísí eile atá á bhfáil.
