Home Care and Healthcare Staffing in Enniskillen

Enniskillen • County Fermanagh

Trusted care and staffing across Enniskillen

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers across Enniskillen and the wider County Fermanagh. For families we arrange home care that helps a loved one stay safe and independent in their own home, from a short daily visit through to full live-in support. For care providers we supply qualified nurses, carers and support workers, drawing on more than ten years of experience matching the right people to the right settings.

Our base is in the South of England, but as an REC-affiliated healthcare staffing agency our reach is genuinely national. We do not run a local office in Enniskillen. What we do is coordinate care and place vetted professionals here the same way we do everywhere we work, with enhanced access checks and right to work checks, references and training completed before anyone starts, and a consultant on hand around the clock.

Local knowledge across Enniskillen

Enniskillen is the county town of Fermanagh, an island town set between the Upper and Lower stretches of Lough Erne. It is home to landmarks such as Enniskillen Castle beside the water and is close to Devenish Island and the Cuilcagh hills to the south. Around 14,000 people live in and around the town, spread across neighbourhoods such as Cornagrade, Kilmacormick, Derrychara, Rossorry, Silverhill, Hillview and Windmill Heights. Care needs vary from the town centre streets near the Diamond to the quieter residential roads and the scattered rural townlands around the lough, so we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at South West Acute Hospital on the Irvinestown Road, which opened in 2012 to replace the former Erne Hospital and is run by the Western Health and Social Care Trust. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams.

In Northern Ireland health and social care are joined up, so adult social care in Enniskillen is arranged through the Western Health and Social Care Trust rather than a council. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the Trust for a care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Home care providers here are regulated by the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (RQIA). Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
