Home Instead Senior Care, Ireland's trusted source of home care for seniors, is the first home care provider in Ireland to receive the Healthmark certification, the internationally recognised quality assurance certification. This certification reassures both seniors who use home care services and their families that the highest standards of care are being delivered.  Home Instead Senior Care also received the ISO 9001:2008 accreditation for its quality management systems.

As Ireland's only home care provider to receive both the ISO 9001:2008 and Healthmark accreditation, Home Instead Senior Care has set the highest standards in Ireland's home care industry and is easily distinguished from other home care providers. 

"Home Instead Senior Care has always been an advocate for regulation in Ireland's home care market and this accreditation shows our commitment to a regulated home care industry. Based on population growth alone, the number of home care recipients may nearly double to 96,260 by 2021. This really heightens the importance of having quality management systems in place to deal with the increasing demand that will be placed on Home Instead Senior Care in the coming years", said Kay Daly, HR Manager of Home Instead Senior Care.

Home Instead Senior Care is committed to quality care and adheres to National Quality Guidelines for Home Care Support Service to protect seniors and provide a consistent home care service.
