Established by the Religious Sisters of Charity in 1879, Our Lady’s Hospice & Care Services provides specialist care for over one million people with a wide range of needs – from residential rehabilitation to end-of-life care – from its bases in Harold’s Cross, Blackrock, and Wicklow. As the profile and needs of patients has changed over the years, the hospice formed three core services, which are supported by education and research – the bedrock of quality healthcare. Specialist palliative care is delivered at each of its locations, making it the largest provider in Ireland. The campus in Harold’s Cross also houses the rheumatic & musculoskeletal disease unit, as well as the care of the older person service comprising a community rehabilitation unit and residential unit.
