Services

Home from home is a respite service, developed as a result of a huge respite need for parents of children with disabilities. It is managed by a voluntary management committee which is comprised of parents and friends. It is staffed by qualified social care staff. It is open to children anywhere in the Kerry area, aged between 5 to 18 years of age.

Hours of opening are as follows:

Monday – Friday 2.00pm – 6.00pm
During the school holiday breaks, hours of opening are Monday and Tuesday 10.00am – 4.00pm
