About Orchard Care Group Ireland

From fostering to residential and intellectual disability care, we support children and young people with all abilities to achieve their best life experiences.

Orchard Residential Care was established in 2007 and today is a leading provider of children’s residential services operating across numerous locations in Ireland. We offer medium to long-term residential care for young people aged between 8 to 18-years of age. We provide a physically, emotionally and psychologically safe place in which young people can heal, develop and move forward in their lives.

Our care is provided in small-scale residential facilities for family-sized groups – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year

Orchard Fostering was established in 2008 by social work professionals who had extensive experience working with foster carers and vulnerable children; they adopted a family ethos in running the business knowing all the staff and carers personally and today we are the leading independent fostering agency in Ireland, working in partnership with Tusla to provide children and young people with a positive care experience.

Orchard Fostering recruit, train and support foster carers across Ireland to support children and young people who enter the foster care system in Ireland.

Orchard Community Care was founded in 2015 by a team of social care professionals to provide services to individuals with Intellectual Disability and Autism.

At Orchard Community Care, our services support children and adults with significant and complex additional needs. Working with families and the community, we support our service users to build their independence and resilience.

We offer residential care on a respite, shared and fulltime basis depending on the needs of our service users, supported by day and community outreach services. Our services are available across an ever-expanding range of locations.

We cater for the abilities and specific needs of those we care for to ensure they receive the best possible service.
