A vetted companion to collect your relative from the ward at UHW and bring them home safely across Waterford, Wexford, Kilkenny, South Tipperary, and the wider South-East. From €100.
Book a CompanionUniversity Hospital Waterford is the major acute hospital for the south-east of Ireland. It serves Waterford city and county, most of Wexford, much of Kilkenny, South Tipperary, and Carlow. UHW runs the South-East Cancer Centre, a busy emergency department, and substantial general medical and surgical departments. It's also a major cardiology referral hospital.
The catchment is rural and dispersed. Many UHW patients are discharged to addresses 30-80 kilometres away — Tramore, Dungarvan, Wexford town, Gorey, Kilkenny city, Carrick-on-Suir, New Ross. A round-trip family pickup eats a half-day. Here2Help collapses all of that into a single fixed booking, with a kind companion who handles every step from ward to settled-at-home.
Companion identifies at the relevant ward at Dunmore Road, takes the handover from nursing staff, and accompanies your relative out personally.
Drop-offs across Waterford city, Tramore, Dungarvan, Wexford town, Gorey, Enniscorthy, Kilkenny city, Thomastown, Clonmel, Carrick-on-Suir.
Many UHW patients are leaving the South-East Cancer Centre. Companions are trained on the fatigue patterns and care sensitivities that follow chemo and radiotherapy.
For unplanned discharges from UHW's emergency department, often at unsocial hours, we hold short-notice availability across the region.
Need more time? Extra hours at €30/hour. Drop-offs to Wexford, Kilkenny, South Tipperary carry a transparent distance surcharge — quoted upfront.
