A vetted companion to collect your relative from the ward at UHG and bring them home safely across Galway city, county, and the wider west of Ireland. From €100.
Book a CompanionUniversity Hospital Galway is the major acute hospital for the west of Ireland — serving Galway city, the wider county, Mayo, Roscommon, Sligo and parts of Clare and Donegal. It runs the Galway Cancer Centre, a busy emergency department, regional cardiothoracic surgery, and substantial general medical and surgical departments.
UHG's catchment is geographically enormous. Many patients are discharged to addresses 30, 60, even 100 kilometres away from Newcastle Road. The drive home from UHG to Clifden, to Belmullet, to Carrick-on-Shannon is a serious journey to undertake alone after a major procedure. Public transport from UHG to most of west Connemara is impractical, and a private fare can run €100-€200 one-way.
Here2Help bundles transport, companion care, and home settling into a single fixed booking with a kind, vetted person who knows the roads.
Companion identifies at the relevant ward and walks your relative out personally, with belongings, prescriptions and walking aids.
