Bringing our services to people during lockdown.
Irish Wheelchair Association aims to provide the maximum level of services while following the advice and guidance outlined by the HSE and the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) during the Covid-19 pandemic. To achieve this goal, Irish Wheelchair Association has adopted a ‘Bringing Services to the Person’ approach for January 2021, the details of which are below.
Day Services will continue to be provided on a community outreach and in-home basis, including:
Essential assisted living services will continue to the maximum extent possible, with people continuing to receive personal assistant support.

The Hotel Holiday Respite Service does not operate in January. Where emergency respite is required, this will be facilitated through Irish Wheelchair Association’s Carmel Fallon Respite Centre (subject to available capacity) or via the in-home respite service.
