Home care provider opens new Waterford office with 70 new jobs to be created
Comfort Keepers has announced the opening of its office in Waterford city
An Irish home care provider has opened a new office in Waterford city, with 70 new jobs to be created.
Comfort Keepers has officially opened its new premises at an address of 131 Parade Quay.
It is expected that the development will create 70 jobs in the local area.
The new office will support personalised home care services for older people, and individuals with additional needs.
In addition to meeting the growing demand for home care services, the move aims to reinforce Comfort Keepers' commitment to supporting communities through high-quality, person-centred care.
The expansion comes at a time when Ireland’s aging population increasingly requires support to live at home independently.
Recent research from the Comfort Keepers Connection Index indicates two in three people would rather remain in their own home as they age, even if it means adapting how they live.
Collette Gleeson, Chief Executive Officer of Comfort Keepers, said: “We are delighted to officially open our new Waterford office, bringing professional home care closer to local families.
“Home is more than a place. It provides people with a sense of familiarity, belonging and connection.
“Our goal is to help people remain independent, connected and living safely and well within the homes and communities they know and love.
“Recruitment is now underway for compassionate carers and care professionals, and we encourage anyone with an interest in a career in care to drop into the office to meet the local team and find out more.
“Equally, families are very welcome to pop in to learn more about our services or discuss care options for loved ones.”
The Waterford office will aim to deliver a full range of services tailored to the needs of each client.
These services include personal care, companionship, aged care support, disability support and reduced mobility support.
The team also provides specialised Dementia and Alzheimer’s care, respite care, palliative support, and complex care for acquired brain injury or chronic illness.
Additional services include care for children with additional needs, overnight care, and light housekeeping support.
