We would like to mark a milestone.

We set up SeniorCare.ie in 2007 after a family member needed various home care services – home help, mobile hairdresser – and we couldn’t find a website with all of them in one place. Sheila had the light bulb moment, and I (Conor) decided to put my IT skills to use (with the excellent web designers at a:m web) and together we started designing the site.
SeniorCare.ie went live in April 2007 and since then we have added hundreds of listings, news, events, and blog posts. Our goal was to help people in their time of need, inform and educate via the blog, and continue to develop the site. Our latest addition of the Discounts section is part of this ongoing development.
We also wanted to help other businesses in developing countries, and I discovered KIVA.org in 2006. KIVA is a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. Leveraging the internet and a worldwide network of microfinance institutions, Kiva lets individuals lend as little as $25 to help create opportunity around the world.
Thanks to our paid listings, we have been able to loan 5% of listing fees to businesses through KIVA.
Today, we gave our 40th loan, a total $1000 of loans. 🙂
We would like to thank the companies who have supported us and all of you who have visited and spread the word about us. We hope to keep delivering great information to you and helping you, if and when you need us.
All the best,
Sheila & Conor
