Two home carers chosen as finalists

Two North Dublin-based home carers have been honoured for their fantastic work in the community during a special day of celebrations at leading home care provider Comfort Keepers. Today, clients, community partners, staff, and carers at Comfort Keepers’ office in Santry celebrated Comfort Keepers’ National Day of Joy, titled Live the Joy, to help everyone find joy in everyday moments.

It was also a 25-year commemoration of Comfort Keepers’ brand, recognition for members of its care team who have been with the company for 10 years, a day to visit clients who have turned 100 years this year, or clients and carers who were celebrating a birthday, as well as the day the company announced its finalists for Comfort Keepers Carer of the Year 2023.

During the Day of Joy celebrations, Eucharia onyerindu from Cabra and Carol Gribbin from Coolock were announced as finalists for the Comfort Keepers Carer of the Year 2023 award for their dedication and passion for their work and for making a positive impact on their clients’ daily lives.

Following the selection based on set criteria, Eucharia and Carol were chosen as two of 11 finalists in the running for the prestigious accolade of Comfort Keepers Carer of the Year 2023.

Collette Gleeson, Managing Director of Comfort Keepers Ireland, said:

“our teams all across the country are made up of amazing individuals providing outstanding support and uplifting, in-home care to the most vulnerable in our society and their families.

“Eucharia and Carol go above and beyond for her clients and is a great representative for Comfort Keepers and our quality care.”

“our day of joy is a great opportunity for us to connect in person to all those who have been instrumental in our success in North Dublin and to celebrate 25 years of elevating the human spirit while providing rewarding careers to our carers. Most importantly, it provides an opportunity for us to honour the hard work and dedication of members of our incredible care team who have been spreading joy in their communities every day and announce our Carer of the Year finalists.

“with the work we do with our carers, our valued clients, and their families, we understand the value of experiencing moments of joy every day to boost our overall health, mood and wellbeing.

“we wanted to use this day to encourage our wider Comfort Keepers’ community to rejoice in the moments we live forwhatever it takes to make us laugh, smile and create memories that will form and last a lifetime.”
