Margaret Callaghan has been announced as the Mayo/Roscommon regional winner and finalist in Right at Home’s Carer of the Year Awards.
The awards recognise and celebrate the hard work and dedication of care staff who play a significant role in their communities, enabling elderly people and people with disabilities to continue to live independent lives in the comfort of their own homes.
Nominations for Right at Home’s Carer of the Year finalists were submitted by those who they work closest with including clients, clients’ families, co-workers, managers, and supervisors.
Ms Callaghan now joins six other candidates from all throughout Ireland at a special awards ceremony in November where Right at Home's National Carer of the Year 2024 will be crowned as they advance to the final stage of judging over the upcoming weeks.
Presented by Right at Home, a provider of in-home care and assistance for seniors and adults, the awards were established in 2020 to highlight the heroic work of carers.
Speaking about the awards, Natalie Crowe, Managing Director of Right at Home Mayo/Roscommon said: “We are thrilled to announce Margaret Callaghan as our Mayo/Roscommon Carer of the Year. For Margaret, it’s more like a friendship than a client relationship when it comes to her role with Right at Home, and those she cares for in the community. We know the adults and seniors really value this, and it is so wonderful to see her hard work appreciated by those around her.”
She continued: “Without question, Margaret goes above and beyond for her clients and never lets anything get in the way when ensuring their needs are met. She is an invaluable member of Right at Home Mayo/Roscommon, and we are so proud of the work she does in the community.”
Ms Callaghan said she was ‘truly overjoyed’ to be nominated for the award.
“I take great pride in my work in the community and with our wonderful clients. I am especially proud to represent the amazing co-workers of mine at Right at Home Mayo and Roscommon, and I am so delighted to have been nominated for this award.”
The national winner of Right at Home’s Carer of the Year will be announced at an awards ceremony in Athlone on November 8.
