Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Supporting People with Disabilities to Live in Communities: Discussion
Ms Colette Cahill:
Of all of us in the room, Ms Buckley is the expert, not the rest of us.
As she described, we work with families across a life span from the time a person is born with a disability until the end-stage of life. We work with the whole family and the Crann Centre does not have an exit strategy. We do not discharge people at any point. They can come in and out of services and avail of them as needed. That is the beauty of the service we offer and of our model of care. In the generational approach, we support one generation who will support the other generation and that has a ripple effect. That is all. Ms Buckley has said it. We are the wraparound service.
