Dublin West Caremark, a trusted franchise of UK home care giant Caremark, is proud to announce that it has been awarded Tier One Status for HSE Elder Person Services.
Caremark's large premises in Naas is based just off the Main Street of the town.
Dublin West Caremark Manager Eoin Kelly said: “Things are going really well. We employ 200 carers, and they work 50/50 between cover in the Dublin West area, and in Kildare, Laois and Offaly.
“We have a huge office in Naas as well as in Bluebell off the Naas Road."
All carers are Garda-vetted and go through an interview and training programme before joining a dedicated team of local on the ground supervisors.
Some carers on their books have gone above and beyond, including Tallaght woman Grace Cronin (21), a part-time carer and college student, who braved Storm Ophelia to look after an elderly client.
The company received a compliment from the service user’s daughter, who praised Grace for going “above and beyond the call of duty.”
“It really touched my heart,” said the daughter. “All schools/colleges were closed and Grace got her parents to drive over to my parent’s house to make sure my mam was OK and my dad was up and dressed, had his breakfast and settled in his chair just like every other day.
“Grace's parents even went off and got milk and bread for them. It’s staff like this that deserve recognition.”

All their carers receive free training, free uniforms, paid holidays, pay rates for qualified carers starting at €12 per hour, flexible hours and supports from a large co-ordinator and supervisor team
