About Clochán House
Clochán House is a newly refurbished Residential Respite Centre located on the HSE grounds in Tullamore, Co. Offaly. It provides a respite service for leaders who have a sensory or physical disability ages between 18 and 65 years of age.
Clochán House Residential Respite Centre is a place where leaders can have a break away from the normal everyday routine and have a holiday experience, while being supported and valued as individuals within a caring environment. The Respite Centre is based on the needs and desires, goals and choices of the leaders to provide a ‘Leader-led’ service.
At Clochán House, we aim to offer a comfortable holiday for the leaders with a ‘home away from home’ setting.
