About Us 

County Roscommon Disability Support Group CLG (RSG), established in 1989, and as a HSE approved provider provides a broad range of person-centred care and support services mainly to people with physical and/or sensory disabilities, older people and children throughout County Roscommon and surrounding areas.   

Service provision in the community is largely funded by HSE Section 39 funding and some aspects of the care are supported by Department of Social Protection (DSP) Community Employment (CE) Scheme.  

RSG became a company limited by guarantee in 1995 and operates from its fully accessible registered premises situated at the Resource Centre in Derrane, Co. Roscommon.  RSG is a not-for-profit organisation and a registered charity that has developed and grown its business over the years. The organisation complies with all statutory and regulatory requirements, whilst holding charitable status holds tax exemption status for donations.    

The care service includes provision of Personal Assistants (PA) to people with disabilities in the community, the workplace, training and or socially in Co. Roscommon. The PA hours to be delivered for disability services are commissioned by the HSE at the beginning of the year through a Service Arrangement.    

RSG’s Home Care Support Worker (HCSW) operations are to provide home support hours, formerly referred to as home help, to older person`s in their homes.  The HCSW hours are delivered by way of RSG’s successful tendering and subsequent admission to the HSE’s Older Persons Authorisation Scheme Service Arrangement for service provision in Counties Roscommon, Mayo and Galway.  

Since 2010 RSG is also an officially recognised Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) Further Education and Training Awards Council) accredited Training Service provider offering a full Level 5 in healthcare and other non-accredited sectoral mandatory training modules.   

In 2012 RSG opened the DALE Resource Centre where service users with physical and sensory disabilities persons between the ages of 18 and 65 can come and join in activities and access therapies and hairdressing in our fully accessible Oak Room.    

For over 35 years now, RSG has been an integral part of County Roscommon communities and voluntary sector creating pathways for community integration for the service user, ensuring their needs are met through services and activities which reflect all aspects of daily living.
