A Wexford woman is in the running for a Carer of the Year award…

Hailey Doran has been announced as the first Wexford regional winner and finalist in Right at Home’s Carer of the Year Awards 2024.

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.

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. 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.

Hailey will join 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.

Speaking about the awards, Claire Keogh, Care Manager, of Right at Home Wexford said:

“We are delighted to recognise Hailey’s commitment and dedication to the Right at Home Wexford team. Hailey is dependable and empathetic; her compassionate approach and caring nature have earned her recognition both amongst her peers and with the clients she serves.”

Claire continued:

“Hailey’s dedication to her clients, combined with her expertise and ongoing professional development, makes her a leading figure in the field of home care.”

Speaking to Wexford Weekly about her award, Hailey said:

“I’m thrilled to be nominated for Carer of the Year awards and to represent my team at Right at Home Wexford. This honour reflects the dedication of so many who work behind the scenes. I’m proud to represent all caregivers who pour their hearts into the vital work we do through caring and supporting others each day.”

The national winner of Right at Home’s Carer of the Year will be announced at an awards ceremony in Athlone on November 8th where the winner will be unveiled.
