Welcome to Kingdom Care/Curam Chiarrai

As a first step in making our presence known to, and providing a service for the Kerry community, we recently decided to opt for the name Kingdom Care instead of Curam Chiarrai to represent our website and our organization. In what is increasingly becoming a multicultural Ireland, we wanted a title which would be comprehensible to all of the nationalities and cultures currently represented in Kerry, as this would allow our work to be inclusive and therefore, accessible to any person irrespective of gender, race, age, or nationality, in keeping with the ethos of our organization.

WHO WE ARE

Kingdom Care is a Tralee based non-profit organization specializing in the provision of home care services and information to the surrounding County. The organization was initially founded in 2006 in response to the demands presented by an aging population which, in turn, meant a greater and growing need for home care services. We also provide information, liaise or refer people to other services and community groups, offer a social outlet for our clients, organise support groups and training courses to help those who use our services, thus facilitating their capacity to build their own network of caring friends.
Our clients consist mostly of senior citizens but we equally cater for the young. The needs of our clients may vary from basic respite care to more specialized care, such as the type of assistance required by someone recovering from a serious illness or condition. In addition, we support the parents of children with disabilities, visit elderly people living alone or provide support to those who are carers themselves.
In the case of the older members of our society, many surveys indicate a strong preference amongst the elderly to receive care and support in their home environment as opposed to in a nursing home. Our aim is to empower those in need of care by providing a service which will facilitate their ability to remain living in the comfort of their own home and environment as is their wish and their right.

WHAT WE DO

Our work mainly consists of the assignment of trained support/care workers to assist the client in their home environment for a designated number of hours per week.

The hours of support we can offer are unfortunately limited, mostly due to the lack of funding. We desperately need funding so that we can increase the number of hours during which we deliver our services to those in our community who require assistance.

Eligibility depends on the clients location and the proximity and availability of staff members. To find out whether you or a family member may be eligible, you can get in touch with us either by phone or via the website. Our friendly staff will endeavour to provide you with all of the information that you might need.

None of the work carried out by Kingdom Care/Curram Chiarra� would be possible without the support of thoughtful generous members of our community. So, on behalf of those whose lives you have touched, thank you, and we look forward to your continued support over the coming months and years.
