Why Ireland Needs a ‘Respect for the Aged Day’

In Japan, Respect for the Aged Day has been a national holiday since 1966—honouring older generations with policies that make daily life safer, easier, and more connected. 🧓💛

Examples include:
🚗 Driver awareness stickers for 75+
🪑 Priority seating & queues
🛗 Barrier-free design in public spaces
🛒 Special shopping hours
👩‍🎓 Intergenerational housing
🤝 Community check-ins

These thoughtful actions reflect Japan’s deep respect for elders—values Ireland already shares through strong family and community bonds.

With our ageing population, a public holiday here could:
✨ Raise awareness
✨ Strengthen intergenerational unity
✨ Encourage communities & businesses to prioritise older people’s dignity and well-being

At Private HomeCare, our mission since 1989 has been: “We care for others as we would like to be cared for ourselves.” 💙

Every day, we can all:
✔️ Empower independence
✔️ Encourage social connection
✔️ Listen & learn from elder stories
✔️ Support families navigating care

Join Private HomeCare in supporting a national holday for older people in Ireland!

Why Palliative Care Matters:
-Enhances quality of life today and supports planning for tomorrow

If you are job hunting, please be aware of recruitment scammers!

Key Signs of Recruitment Fraud

Requests for Money:
Genuine recruiters never ask for payments such as application fees or training costs.

Sensitive Information Requests:
Avoid sharing PPS numbers, bank details, or ID early in the process.

Unrealistic Offers: Be cautious of high salaries or jobs without interviews. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Unverified Communication: Look out for emails from generic domains or unsolicited messages via apps like X (Twitter), WhatsApp or Telegram. Official contact from *Brand Name* will only come from verified email addresses and platforms.

Pressure Tactics: Scammers often push for immediate responses. Legitimate recruitment processes allow time for consideration.
