Daffodil Care Services was established in 2007 in response to an increased demand for residential and community based therapeutic services. We promote the values of therapeutic child and youth care in a safe environment where the young person and their family are at the centre of all planning, all activities, all decision-making, all interventions and all review processes.




Residential Care

Located south of Gorey, on a private 2 acre site, ‘The Pines’, provides a residential therapeutic environment for up to four young people of mixed gender between 12 and 17 years. Lengths of placement can vary and follow the guide that ‘placements must be as long or as short as is therapeutically beneficial’.
