Tax Relief on Home Health - A gross cost of €30 per hour will actually only cost you €18 per hour net because you can claim relief at your marginal rate of income tax (up to 40%).

We cover Waterford City and all surrounding County Waterford areas.

Yes. If you or a family member pays for our service, you can claim tax relief through Revenue Ireland at your top rate of tax (either 20% or 40%). This can reduce the actual cost of a standard €30 hourly visit down to as little as €18. We provide fully itemised monthly statements to make your annual Revenue claim quick and straightforward.

We offer flexible add-on options to cover unexpected needs. For planned errands—like grocery shopping, collecting prescriptions, or driving to medical appointments—we charge our standard hourly rate plus a mileage fee of €0.45 per kilometre to cover fuel. For urgent, last-minute safety checks requested by the family, we provide an Emergency Check-In service with a flat €50 call-out fee plus the standard hourly rate.

For security and seamless entry, we highly recommend installing a secure, weatherproof key safe outside the home, which we can help guide you to select. To build trust and comfort, we assign a primary companion to your loved one so they see a familiar, friendly face at every visit. If your regular companion is on holiday or unwell, we will always introduce a fully briefed backup staff member in advance.
