Limerick
Corlann Limerick provides a range of services to adults with an intellectual disability in the Limerick Region, as well as therapeutic supports to children with a complex presentation arising from a disability
About us
In 1977 our Bawnmore campus welcomed its first residents. At that time, Bawnmore was hailed as the most modern residential centre (with 150 places) for adults with intellectual disabilities in Europe.
An additional 100 residential places materialised in the 1980s in the form of community houses in Limerick City & County and in County Clare. Today, Corlann Limerick supports over 320 adults with intellectual disabilities and autism in homes and day services largely located in the community across Limerick city and county. Over 900 children and their families receive support in West Limerick for our Children’s Disability Network Team.
What we do
Corlann Limerick looks to provide person-centred supports to adults with intellectual disabilities.
Our goal is to empower each individual to live a full and meaningful life as an equal citizen in the community. Guided by the principles of dignity, inclusion, and choice, we work in partnership with individuals to create opportunities for growth and community participation.
Our range of services, which are tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual in as far as possible, includes residential, day, outreach and respite supports for adults with intellectual disabilities.
Our team
Our dedicated team of professionals includes social care workers, nurses, care and support staff, as well as clinicians in the areas of Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Psychology, Social Work and Physiotherapy who work collaboratively with front line staff to offer personalized support that promotes independence and wellbeing.
Children’s services
Our Children’s Services work in partnership with the HSE and three other lead agencies in the Mid-West to provide supports to Children with complex need arising from a disability and their families in line with the HSE programme for Progressing Children Services. Our team is based in West Limerick.
This team operates an interdisciplinary model of intervention. The range of disciplines include physiotherapists, social workers, early intervention specialist, psychologists, speech and language therapists, social care and occupational therapists with the support of a therapy assistant.
Corlann Limerick is inspired by the mission and vision of Corlann – a service grounded in history but focused on being responsive and supportive to the people who we support and committed to doing the best we can in the context of the resources we are allocated.
