Irish Homecare enjoyed a proud day for the whole team at the Home and Community Care Ireland (HCCI) Awards & Conference, held at the Killashee Hotel. The highlight of the evening was Grace Keogh being named Carer of the Year.
#TeamIHC travelled to the Killashee Hotel for the event, which began with the conference. Irish Homecare CEO Teresa Boylan-McNally spoke to delegates during the day, before attention turned to the evening’s awards ceremony celebrating the people who make a difference in home and community care across Ireland.
Irish Homecare went into the evening with finalists in five separate categories, reflecting the breadth of what it takes to deliver care well, from the frontline to the people who support and lead those teams.
Grace Keogh was a finalist for Carer of the Year and took home the award, which recognises the compassion and commitment of carers who support clients in their own homes every day. Her win was a proud moment for the whole Irish HomeCare team.
Carrie Vuyk was a finalist for HR of the Year, recognising the people-focused work that helps recruit, support and retain the carers and nurses at the heart of the service.
Joanne Cluett was a finalist for Mentoring & Leadership Accomplishment of the Year, an award for those who guide colleagues, build confidence and lead by example.
Fiona Beirne was a finalist for Nurse of the Year, which acknowledges clinical excellence and the high standard of care nurses bring to their clients and colleagues.
Helen Mc Cooey was a finalist for Social Innovation of the Year, celebrating new ideas that improve lives and strengthen connections within the community.
Having five finalists across five categories reflected the strength of the Irish HomeCare team, and the company congratulated each of them, along with Grace on her well-deserved win. It also extended its congratulations to all of the winners and finalists who took part in the awards.
Well done, #TeamIHC
