Home Instead Waterford recently announced that it is embarking on an exciting new chapter in its proud history of delivering high-quality home care to thousands of people across the county.

The organisation, which provides home care services to more than 7,000 clients and employs over 4,000 people nationwide, has rebranded as ‘Dovida’, marking an end to its affiliation with the Home Instead brand. Dovida promises to bring a renewed vision and mission for home care that keeps clients at the centre of every decision.

“We have been a trusted partner, proudly delivering the highest quality home care to people within our communities throughout Ireland for 20 years. Our mission has always been to enhance the lives of ageing adults and their families by providing personalised, relationship-based care at home,” Shane Jennings, Chief Executive Officer of Dovida Ireland, said.

“Today, that mission continues under a new name. Dovida builds on our legacy with a renewed commitment to excellence and compassion and the promise to continue providing the same exemplary care that our clients, their families, our network, and caregivers have come to rely on,” he added.

Your Life, Your Way

As part of its vision for the future of home care, Dovida has introduced the ’Circle of Care’. This philosophy renews its commitment to person-centred care by placing the individual at the centre of a holistic support system that unites families, skilled caregivers and support teams, and the wider healthcare community.

Home and Life 

Inspired by the Latin words for Home (Domus) and Life (Vita), the name Dovida symbolises the very core of the organisation’s mission: to help the people they support live the life they want in the comfort of their own homes for as long as possible.
