Dovida launches its Waterford office

Dovida, (formerly Home Instead) launched its new brand on May 2nd at the Dovida offices in the Cleaboy Business Park, Waterford City. The ribbon was cut by the deputy Mayor of Waterford, Cllr. Adam Wyse.

Waterford health care professionals, business and political leaders joined the Dovida staff and caregivers in celebrating this exciting new chapter in its proud history of delivering high-quality home care to thousands of people in Waterford and across the county. The deputy Mayor remarked on Home Instead’s legacy in the health care community and felt sure that the team at Dovida would preserve and enhance this reputation going forward.

Steven Tubbritt, General Manager of Dovida in Waterford thanked everyone for attending, “It’s so important that we maintain the relationships we have built over the years with the health care community in Waterford. While today marks a new brand and commitment to our continued home care services, we see it as a continuation of the work that has built our reputation over the past twenty years.

“The real stars are the caregivers, we’ve been so fortunate over the years to have carers with the compassion and professionalism required and deserved by our clients. The current team of caregivers is only matched by the crew here at base. While I’m the one who has to make the speeches and stand in the photos, it’s them that keep things at such a high standard.” 

Dovida is inspired by the Latin words for Home (Domus) and Life (Vita), the name Dovida symbolises the very core of the organisation’s mission, to help the people they support live the life they want in the comfort of their own homes for as long as possible. As part of its vision for the future of home care, Dovida has introduced the ’Circle of Care’. This philosophy renews its commitment to person-centred care by placing the individual at the centre of a holistic support system that unites families, skilled caregivers and support teams, and the wider healthcare community.

Dovida provides person-centred home care to over 7,000 people across Ireland. While the majority of its clients are ageing adults (over 65), 10% of Dovida’s client base is under 65, and children under the age of 18 currently make up one per cent of the people the organisation supports. Dovida employs more than 4,000 dedicated and compassionate caregivers to deliver its range of home care services, which are carefully designed to support, empower, and uplift people and enhance their quality of life. 

Dovida has 25 locations across Ireland, and its global footprint spans six countries (Australia, Ireland, France, Netherlands, New Zealand, and Switzerland), delivering nine million hours of care each year. With a global presence and a local touch, Dovida delivers care that’s person-centred, empowering, and impactful.
