Day Services

Each Day Service provides supports and opportunities for people we support to develop a wide range of skills and access therapies that will enable each person to live a good and valued life.  Underpinning service provision is the ethos of Corlann which includes supporting people to claim their rightful place as equal and valued citizens, promotion of relationships and community participation and valuing learning and expertise in the design of supports. 

Each Day Services endeavours to support each individual in a manner that is flexible, responsive and person centred.  A wide range of choices and options are offered based on each person’s preferences as outlined in their Person Centred Plan.

Corlann Limerick Day Services are informed by the Health Service Executive (HSE) policy document “New Directions” which was published by the HSE in 2012. This policy sets out the approach to day services that envisages all the supports available in communities will be mobilised so that people with intellectual disabilities have the widest choice and options about how to live their lives and how to spend their time.

There are currently 13 day service locations provided by Corlann Limerick across Limerick city and county.
