CROSSCARE Carer-Support Programme

Crosscare Carer Support Programme has been working to support family carers in the North Dublin and County Dublin area for over 15 years. Our aim is to help improve the quality of life of family carers who are often vulnerable and under stress.  Our experience informs us that if the carer is supported, not only will the well being of the carer be enhanced but also that the person being cared for may be enabled to stay at home for as long as is possible.

We define family carers as people of any age who are caring full time or part time for a member of their family who has special needs, a frail older person or someone with a long term illness. They may not live with the person for whom they are caring.  We recognise that many family carers become isolated in their caring role and offer services to break this isolation.

  • Support
  • Informal one to one support to people who are providing care
  • Local support groups for carers at several Dublin venues
