The HSE decides and funds home support hours through its local offices. Your agency delivers them, and Hettie works for your agency; referrals and commissioning stay with the HSE, and Hettie touches neither. The HSE home support offices are South Tipperary (Clonmel) (Clonmel Community Care Centre, Western Road E91 HT96, telephone 052 617 7258 or 062 279 61 (Cashel/Cahir)); North Tipperary (Nenagh) (Health Centre, Tyone, Nenagh E45 KH59, telephone 067 464 00); North Tipperary (Thurles) (Thurles Primary Care Centre, 22A Mitchel Street E41 K4C2, telephone 0504 258 00); out of hours it answers your line, and in the day it can make welcome and satisfaction calls. Every call is written up, so you can show the HSE or HIQA what happened.
Hettie picks up in your agency's name and tells the caller at once that it is an automated assistant; information and attention calls go into your morning summary. At minute 0 an urgent call is transferred live to your on-call nurse or manager. In an emergency Hettie tells the caller to ring 112 or 999 and alerts your on-call team at the same moment. For a doctor overnight, the co-ops in County Tipperary are Caredoc and Shannondoc, split by area; Hettie gives no medical advice.
Yes. One after-hours number can cover every branch in the county, because Hettie follows the rota and branch rules you provide; the towns with their own pages are Clonmel, Nenagh, Thurles, Carrick-on-Suir, Roscrea, Tipperary and Cashel, 7 in all. Pricing is the same in every county: After-hours Coverage is €2 per active patient per month, or €99 a month for an agency with up to 50 active patients, with no setup fee and no contract.

Hettie asks one question to clarify and no more. The nurse on call decides what happens next. The 112 and 999 line is fixed safety wording your agency approves.
I had a bit of a fall in the bathroom last night... My hip is a bit sore.
Good morning. Here's what happened since the office closed.
