About the Meath Testimonial
“Jess is well cared for and is very content at home at The Meath. Jess has complex needs and requires 1:1 support to perform the simplest of everyday tasks. In addition to her complex needs being met, she really wants someone to give her time and attention. We are thrilled to see this happening at The Meath, it has such a positive impact on her quality of life.”
Sally, Mother to Jess

The Meath exists for people, who due to their complex epilepsy, complex healthcare needs and disabilities, require 24/7 care and support in order to live safe and fulfilled lives.
