What is Dovida Pro?

Dovida Pro is a bespoke digital platform which we use to connect with our network of professional Referral Providers throughout Ireland.

If you are a healthcare professional, such as a Hospital Consultant, a GP, a Public Health Nurse, an Occupational Therapist, or any professional referral provider who wishes to refer patients for home care services, then this platform is for you.

We have worked hand-in-hand with our Referral Provider Network for 20 years, designing tailored, managed home care plans which help our clients live happy, healthy lives at home.

Our Governance and Standards are second to none in the home care sector – we go the extra mile to safeguard our clients, implement stringent security measures to protect against potential risks and ensure a secure environment for their well-being.

What makes Dovida different from other home care providers? 

Dovida has been operating in Ireland since 2008. We were the first to offer home care services in the country, and we have a network of 25 local offices in Ireland, delivering excellence in HSE Home Support and private care services to clients of all ages.

Our person-centred approach means that we prioritise our clients’ relationship with their caregivers above everything else, making sure they feel supported, uplifted and empowered to live life to its fullest. 

What types of care do you offer? 

We provide a wide range of managed care services, delivered from one hour a day to 24 hours a day, depending on our clients’ requirements.

We offer services such as companionship and home help to improve our clients’ quality of life at home, Live-in Care as an attractive alternative to residential care, as well as specialist services such as 24-hour care, dementia care, disability support and arthritis care to help those with more complex care requirements to live well at home.

See our full range of services above. 

How do you select and train your Caregivers? 

Our caregivers are carefully selected based on their qualifications, their experience, and their personalities.

We choose caregivers that are warm, open and easy to get along with, so that our clients build a relationship with them as soon as they come into their lives. We pride ourselves on our approach to providing the best-possible match between our clients and Caregivers – this is the foundation of our person-centred approach.

Caregivers undergo a proven training programme with Dovida before they start work, and they have opportunities to upskill in specialist care such as dementia care throughout their career with us. 

What governance and standards does Dovida employ? 

With our strong commitment to excellence, we prioritise the well-being and safety of our clients above all else.

Our robust governance framework ensures that our caregivers are thoroughly screened, Garda-vetted, extensively trained, and fully qualified to deliver personalised support to you as part of your Circle of Care.

We go the extra mile to safeguard our clients, implementing stringent security measures to protect against potential risks and providing a secure environment for their well-being.
