Support and care options in County Louth
What is arranged locally in Louth, who to contact, and how that differs from the national picture.
Last reviewed: 11 September 2026Verified
Local context
Louth has more published home support detail than almost any other county: the HSE has given annual waiting figures for 2022 to 2025, a dated February 2026 position, hours delivered against approved hours not delivered, and the reasons care packages had not started.
The HSE lists one home support office for Louth, at St Brigid's Complex in Ardee, so that is the contact point for the whole county rather than a separate office per town.
Housing adaptation grants for properties in the county go to Louth County Council.
