What We Deliver.
Specialist nurse-led homecare for children and adults with complex needs — including tracheostomy, ventilation, PEG feeding, seizure management, and high-dependency support where severe intellectual or physical disability requires advanced clinical care.
Work with Us.
Make a difference where it matters most — at home, with families, delivering specialist care. Your role matters — every visit, every shift, every moment. If you bring expertise and compassion, we’d like to hear from you.
How Care Packages Reach Us.
Referral Through the HSE.
From Hospital to Home, Made Simple.
When a specialist team identifies the need for complex care, your local CHO assesses and approves the package. From there, the HSE commissions Obsidian — and we assemble your dedicated, nurse-led team.
Referral Through Your Family.
Start with a Conversation.
Families can reach out to Obsidian directly for guidance. We work alongside hospitals and CHO teams to support the process. Once the HSE approves, Obsidian can be nominated as your care provider.
