Celebrating excellence in home care.
2019 Awards Winners
The Comfort Keepers Stars Awards 2019 highlighted the excellence of our homecare providers nationwide.
Our stars came from all over the country to eat, drink, and be merry. Of course, not forgetting to crown a few winners along the way.
Hosted by the always entertaining Daithi O’Sé, this was our 9th Annual Awards. It was a great opportunity to come together and review the year. We got to celebrate our fantastic achievements. Most importantly, we recognised those who go above and beyond on a daily basis.
We can’t wait for the next one!
