How Locufy works for customers

Nearest firstResults are listed by how far the provider actually is from you — not by who paid for the spot.
One score from every reviewGoogle, Trustpilot and Locufy reviews combined into one score, weighted by how many there are — so a 5.0 from three reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from three hundred.
Free for customersSearching, comparing and booking cost nothing. Providers set their own rates and you see them up front.

Questions people ask

Typically €22–€32 an hour in Ireland. Enter your town above for rates from carers near you.

A care assistant helps with daily living; clinical tasks need a nurse.

An hour is usual, and shorter calls are offered by some for medication only.

Home support hours are available through the HSE depending on assessed need — your GP or public health nurse starts it.
