Support and care options in County Waterford
What is arranged locally in Waterford, who to contact, and how that differs from the national picture.
Last reviewed: 11 September 2026Verified
Local context
Waterford City and County Council is a single authority covering both the city and the county, so a housing adaptation grant application follows one process regardless of whether the address is urban or rural.
Waterford is one of the few areas where the HSE has published home support waiting figures for the county on more than one date — December 2022, December 2023, December 2024 and November 2025 — so the county home support page here shows several published dates rather than a single snapshot.
The HSE states that those Waterford figures are cumulative and include earlier months, and it prints no combined total, so the two queues are shown separately here and no total is calculated.
