‘Our children deserve better’ – Kerry parents call for St Mary of the Angels to provide overnight respite care
02 April 2025
Kerry parents of adults with additional needs are demanding more respite services for their loved ones.
They are calling on the HSE to use St Mary of the Angels in Beaufort for overnight respite care for families in mid-Kerry.
Shockingly, families are currently only receiving one weekend a year of overnight respite when their children with special needs turn 18 – as they are now adults they can only avail of limited supports.
