Homecare provider with Offaly base awarded 'Super Team' accolade

Irish homecare provider Comfort Keepers, which has a branch in Tullamore serving Offaly, Laois, Longford and Westmeath, has been awarded 'SuperTeam 2023' accreditation by the All-Ireland Business Foundation (AIBF).

The company, established in 2005, was praised by the autonomous accreditation body's adjudication panel for meeting standards of excellence in trust, commitment, performance and customer-centricity.

The All-Star accreditation also ensures the company's continued inclusion in The AIBF Register of Irish Business Excellence (TRIBE).

Comfort Keepers delivers care services for thousands of clients in need across the country, with its services organised from nine regional branches including Tullamore.

Its mission is to provide people with the highest quality of life that is achievable, treating each client with the respect and dignity they deserve.

Pamela Kerrigan, Branch Manager at Comfort Keepers Tullamore said: "We are delighted to achieve All Ireland Business Foundation SuperTeam 2023 accreditation for demonstrating exceptional teamwork.

"This is an outstanding achievement for our team; it recognises their unwavering hard work and dedication in providing quality home care services to all our Midlands clients, as well as our ongoing commitment to supporting our team in every way we can so they can provide the best care possible."

The Managing Director of the All-Ireland Business Foundation, Kapil Khanna, said the accreditation, which is now held by over 500 firms, is needed by the thousands of small and medium businesses which operate to their own standards but have nothing to measure them by.

"We evaluate a company’s background, trustworthiness and performance, and we speak to customers, employees and vendors. We also anonymously approach the company as a customer and report back on the experience. The business goes through at least two interviews and is scored on every part of the process against set metrics."

Comfort Keepers Tullamore provides over 1,300 hours of care per week to clients across Offaly, Laois, Longford and Westmeath.

The company is currently recruiting roles including home support worker, office administration, clinical management and supervisory roles. Visit www.ckjobs.ie for more information.
