The for-profit venture, branded Comfort Keepers, is a US franchise operation. The Irish franchise is being operated by the Elder Healthcare Group, which operates four nursing homes in the mid-west region and is run by brothers Aus and Bob Power.

They plan to open ten offices in Dublin and around the country by April 2008 and employ up to 1,000 part time workers providing assistance to the elderly.
