The Access Group Strikes Agreement with Home & Community Care Ireland (HCCI) to Support Ireland’s Home Care Sector
The Access Group, a leading provider of care management software solutions, has announced a sponsorship and strategic collaboration agreement with Home & Community Care Ireland (HCCI), the national representative body for home care providers. This agreement supports Ireland’s home care sector through technology solutions, member benefits, and innovation initiatives.
Ireland’s home care sector faces immense pressure, with demand for services growing as the population ages and workforce shortages likely to intensify. Ireland’s home care sector, like many across Europe, faces workforce pressures and growing demand that technology solutions can help address.
The Access Group currently have five office locations across Ireland, supporting customers in 26 counties across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Through this collaboration, Access will sponsor HCCI’s flagship events, including the HCCI Conference & Home Care Awards 2025, and support initiatives such as compliance workshops, AI-driven innovation sessions, and executive briefings to promote best practice and operational excellence.
The agreement provides HCCI members with exclusive benefits including discounts on Access’s Care Suite solutions covering Care Planning, Rostering, Compliance, and Medication Management, alongside price protection and access to emerging technologies such as their AI platform.
Access’s Proven Track Record
Access brings extensive expertise to this relationship, currently supporting over 14,000 registered care home locations across the UK and managing 25% of the UK’s social care hours, demonstrating scalability and reliability which Irish providers can utilise.
“Home care is about people, not paperwork. Technology should take friction out of rostering and compliance so carers can spend more time with the people they support”, said Joseph Musgrave, CEO of HCCI. “Access’s support for our conference, workshops and innovation sessions comes with tangible member benefits. Through this collaboration with Access, we’re bringing proven tools and fair pricing to HCCI members so they can deliver safer, smarter care today and build capacity for tomorrow.”
“Technology enables care professionals to do what they do best – providing the support and empathy that make all the difference,” said Anisa Byrne, General Manager of Access Care. “We’ve seen firsthand how the right digital tools can transform care delivery. Done right, technology integrates seamlessly into the lives of those receiving care, granting greater independence and reassurance to them and their families. This collaboration with HCCI allows us to bring proven solutions to Irish providers facing similar challenges to their UK counterparts.”
This agreement reflects Access’s commitment to supporting Ireland’s home care sector through technology, training, and expertise that can help providers deliver better outcomes for those receiving care at home.
