Exploring our adult Homecare service | Mental healthcare at home
At St Patrick’s Mental Health Services (SPMHS), our Homecare Service provides high-level mental health care and treatment to you in your own home.
Homecare delivers the mental #healthcare you need directly to you, wherever you are in Ireland. Through the service, you receive comprehensive mental health support from the comfort of your own home by engaging with a multidisciplinary team (MDT) through video, phone or other online channels.
An MDT is made up of a range of #mentalhealth professionals to ensure all aspects of your care and recovery are looked after in a holistic, integrated way. The programmes and services you take part in will be identified by your MDT to best meet your specific needs.
Homecare is designed to support your mental health #recovery to the highest level, while also enabling you to be with your family and in familiar surroundings, without worrying about travelling to hospital or being apart from those you care for.
Through Homecare, you:
• have 24-hour support
• work with a range of mental health professionals
• receive daily contact from members of your MDT
• can meet other people experiencing mental health difficulties to learn from and support each other
• can use our online patient platform, Your Portal.
We also offer a wide range of recovery-focused social and recreational activities that you can take part in remotely. These include mental health information sessions, as well as leisure and wellbeing activities like yoga, art therapy, relaxation exercises and mindfulness.
Any #medication you may need to support your recovery will be reviewed and prescribed through the service, and you will have access to our Pharmacy team to discuss this. We can liaise with local pharmacies to arrange for medication you have been prescribed to be dispensed to you.
