The Living Section of the Summer Edition of the Parkinson Association of Ireland Magazine features A Guide To Your Entitlements in Home Care. The article was compiled by Alice Lucey, Registered General Nurse, BA (Hons) in Social Care and Director of Care at Be Independent Home Care Ltd. While Private Home Care is becoming an increasingly popular choice for those who wish to access care in their own home, few people realise it is actually an extremely cost effective form of care with a range of entitlements available. The article provides details on these entitlements whcih include Tax relief and Home Care Packages and Grants.

The Parkinson’s Association of Ireland was established in 1987. Their aim is to assist people with Parkinson’s, their families and carers, health professionals and interested others, by offering support, a listening ear, and information on any aspect of living with Parkinson’s. They also initiate and fund research into Parkinson’s disease, its causes and effects.
