The Irish Healthcare Centre Awards 2022 took place in the Royal Marine Hotel in Dun Laoghaire on Friday 13th May, a gathering of representatives from the healthcare sector throughout Ireland, honouring the teams, organisations and initiatives that provide vital healthcare and create a lasting and meaningful impact for the people they support. RehabCare and its Dublin-based home support service, CareLink, took home the award for the Homecare and Assisted Living Provider of the Year, facing tough competition in the category from nine other nominees. This Award recognised the flexibility and dedication of RehabCare’s home support teams, who provide essential at-home services to hundreds of people on a continuous basis. Staff were joined by several members of RehabCare’s services on the night, including Ann and Karen from the RehabCare service in Tipperary.
Gráinne Fogarty, Director of Care for the Rehab Group, said: “We are thrilled that RehabCare has won this prestigious award, and was also nominated in multiple categories.” “This Award recognised the professionalism and agility of our home support teams, who go above and beyond to provide care and support to people in their own homes. Some of the people we support have complex needs, and our staff are dedicated to making sure that each individual has the assistance with personal care and daily activities that will enable them to have the maximum amount of independence possible at home.”
“Our home support teams are on hand 7 days a week, 365 days a year, from assisting clients out of bed, supporting to address many challenges and complex needs, to helping them enhance their independence, all throughout the day”, said Gráinne. “I am truly honoured to work alongside our staff who make a significant impact on the lives of the people we support, and their families. The Awards are an excellent opportunity to pay tribute to the frontline staff who work so hard, right across the country.”
The prestigious Irish Healthcare Centre Awards were held in-person for the first time since 2019, and are on opportunity to celebrate the work of staff and projects from across the healthcare sector.
