With a focus on Independent Living for over 50 years, DCM supports Aging in Place as an alternative to Nursing Home Care. The organization also engages in Social Action within the community, offering help to the homeless and individuals with addiction issues through various services, including Nursing Home Care, Independent Living, Villages, and Day Services for older persons. Social Action Projects such as Addiction Support Groups and a Homeless Ministry are also part of their initiatives. The Abbey Street Methodist Church, a part of DCM, provides a warm and friendly atmosphere to enhance the quality of life for its communities. Additionally, DCM operates various facilities including the Abbey Social Centre in Parnell Square North, Mount Tabor Nursing Home in Sandymount, Ailt an Óir Independent Living in Dun Laoghaire, and Margaretholme Independent Living in Sandymount. These locations cater to different needs within the community while striving to maintain a high level of care and a welcoming environment in each setting. With a rich heritage dating back to the first Methodist gathering in 1747 on Abbey Street, DCM has evolved over the years to meet the growing needs of the organization and the community. The Abbey Street location has been a significant base for the Dublin Central Mission since the 1960s. The organization continues to expand its services and outreach, exemplified by initiatives like the Health Care Assistant Program introduced as a pilot scheme in 2022.
