Home Care Should Be Accessible to Everyone

Across Northern Ireland, thousands of older and vulnerable people struggle to access the home care they need. Waiting lists are long, services are stretched, and too many families are left to cope alone — or face the prospect of residential care before it's truly necessary.

ACS was founded to change that. We believe that staying at home — in the place you know, with the routines that matter to you — should be a real option for everyone, not just those who can navigate a complicated system or afford to go private.

Our carers are local, our approach is personal, and our goal is simple: to help people live well at home for as long as possible.

Our Team

Local People, Genuine Care

Every carer at ACS is local and matched to the people they support. We're not a faceless company — we're your neighbours, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Our team is built on trust, trained in compassion, and committed to helping people stay independent at home for as long as possible.

A Message from Our Founder

“As someone who cares deeply about our ageing population, I started ACS with a simple belief: no one should feel forgotten behind their front door. We're here to offer not just a service, but human connection — kindness in action that helps people live well, stay independent, and feel seen. I'm proud to welcome you into our circle of care.”
