Tullamore-based carers recognised as Comfort Keepers marks 20 years

Two Tullamore-based cares have been recognised for their service as Comfort Keepers, one of Ireland’s largest and most awarded homecare companies, marks 20 years.

Maria O’Callaghan, based in the Tullamore office, is one of the regional winners of this year’s Carer of the Year Awards. Maria started caring during the pandemic.

In addition, Thabita Pole, Carer, was also presented with an award for five years of service at Comfort Keepers.

Maria and Tabitha both received recognition for their contributions to helping people to stay living independently in their own homes and communities as safely as possible, while maintaining connection, dignity, confidence, and joy.

As part of its National Day of Joy, Comfort Keepers teams delivered flowers and celebration packs to clients, and hosted parties in Comfort Keepers’ offices and in the homes of those they care for across Ireland.

The company also marked 20 years of uplifting homecare and celebrated being named the All-Ireland Champion Home Care Company 2025 by the All-Ireland Business Foundation, for the second consecutive year (recognising Comfort Keepers’ ongoing commitment to excellent, reliable and compassionate homecare services).
