Ireland – Intellectual Disabilities

Supporting Intellectual Disabilities in Ireland

Providing the right support is key to empowering adults and children to live the life they choose. Praxis Care supports individuals with an Intellectual Disability through the provision of Residential and Day Activity service models.

We provide community based accommodation, both directly and in partnership with housing providers who have particular experience working with people whose needs may be complex and often manifest in behaviours that challenge.

We acknowledge that every person is unique and that a “one-size-fits-all’ approach is not appropriate. We also understand that living with others can be difficult for some individuals. Our accommodation models can facilitate flexibility between privacy and individual living space with the opportunity to develop peer relationships.

We actively work to involve both the person we support and their family in designing their accommodation and support mix, shaped around their individual needs. Our current provision of supported accommodation services range from the flat cluster model to more dispersed, but equally supported housing where individuals either live on their own or share with a small number of individuals with similar requirements.

Happy #WorldSmileDay 😊

We’re celebrating by sharing some of the joyful moments across Praxis Care that have brought smiles to the faces of the individuals we support and those who support them.

🎉 Rory from Kimberley House started his first volunteer job in the local community and the staff couldn’t be more proud of his progress!

🌱 Our Seedlings team in Cork won the Innovation Award at our Quality Conference for transforming gardening into a person-centred therapeutic service—such an amazing achievement.

🎨 Volunteers from Danske Bank UK recently gave the office at Banbridge a fresh pink makeover during their team day, which made Service Manager Carly very happy with the warm and welcoming atmosphere it created!

⚽️ Our Mulhuddart Day Service had a fantastic time attending a St Patrick's Athletic FC night game in Dublin, which brought smiles all around.

🥞 Simon from Glenroyd savoured a delicious pancake breakfast before heading to the promenade, where he enjoyed one of his favourite pastimes: taking in the lovely sea views and fresh air.

What’s made you smile recently? Spread the joy & let us know in the comments! 😄✨

Housing compatibility is about more than just a roof over someone’s head—it’s about creating an environment where individuals can truly thrive. 🌟

At this year's Quality Conference, Praxis Care Service Manager, Sinead Gilsenan, will share how matching housing arrangements to individual needs and preferences has led to remarkable improvements in well-being, stability and safety for the people we support. 🏡💙

"By tailoring environments to suit each person, we foster a true sense of belonging and growth—it’s about building a community where everyone can flourish." 🌱
