About The White House
The White House provides specialist residential care for adults with eating disorders in a structured, therapeutic setting. It functions as a step-down service for people moving on from acute nursing care at Limerick House, supporting continued recovery while residents take greater ownership of daily routines and care.
The programme combines personalised therapeutic and dietetic support with life-skills practice, individual psychotherapy, family therapy and structured occupational therapy. Residents also receive 24-hour nursing care, continuous specialist oversight and coordinated multidisciplinary support. It is intended for longer-term rehabilitation, with a typical admission of around 18 months, although the length varies with progress and goals.
