Home Instead Ireland announce rebrand as Dovida
Home Instead Ireland has announced that it is embarking on a new chapter and has rebranded as ‘Dovida’.
The organisation, which provides home care services to more than 7,000 clients and employs 4,000 people nationwide, marks an end to its affiliation with the Home Instead brand.
Dovida promises to bring a renewed vision and mission for home care that keeps clients at the centre of every decision.
Shane Jennings, chief executive officer of Dovida Ireland, said: “We have been a trusted partner, proudly delivering the highest quality home care to people within our communities throughout Ireland for 20 years. Our mission has always been to enhance the lives of ageing adults and their families by providing personalised, relationship-based care at home.
“That mission continues under a new name. Dovida builds on our legacy with a renewed commitment to excellence and compassion and the promise to continue providing the same care that our clients, their families, our network, and caregivers have come to rely on.”
Dovida has introduced the ‘Circle of Care’, a philosophy that renews its commitment to person-centred care by placing the individual at the centre of a support system that unites families, skilled caregivers and support teams, and the wider healthcare community.
“Our renewed mission is to support, empower, and uplift people by putting them at the heart of every decision we make. We believe that recognising the uniqueness of each client is key to providing the highest quality of care.
"Our caregivers approach people with curiosity and compassion, eager to understand their care needs, interests, values, and personality. As a Dovida client, you will be empowered to live ‘Your Life, Your Way’,” Shane Jennings continued.
Home and Life
Inspired by the Latin words for Home (Domus) and Life (Vita), the name Dovida symbolises the 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.
“What people want from home care is changing as a new generation needs support. They want to feel more engaged and empowered to make decisions about their care,” Shane Jennings said.
“Ageing adults still make up the majority of the people we support; however, our client base is also expanding and now includes individuals under 65 and children under 18. Our new brand celebrates both where we come from and where we’re going, and allows us to adapt to the changing needs and wants of people receiving care.
“Our promise is simple: together with our clients, their families and their entire ‘circle of care’, we create a care environment that is centred around the individual. We focus every moment on forming relationships that empower our clients and help them to do the things they choose to do. Because it’s not just about adding years to their life but adding life to their years,” he concluded.
