Meet the  Owner



"Níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin" is an old popular Gaelic proverb meaning "There's no fireside like your own fireside". Every home in Ireland has a fireplace, but there is nothing like the comfort and unique warmth of one's own. Essentially, there's no place like home!   

HomeCare and Caregiving

Catherine Larkin, owner of Celtic HomeCare by Catherine, LLC, founded her business in September 2008.
