Tom Donohue and his wife, Mary, a Registered Nurse, founded the first Pittsburgh Comfort Keepers office 13 years ago. Tom became interested in home senior care while his elderly father suffered from dementia. They provided in-home senior care for him and realized the need for trusting and compassionate home care. It has been their mission to provide a caring and professional elder care services to seniors in need both physically and mentally. Through their offices’ thorough screening and interview process they have surrounded themselves with a caring and dedicated staff. Clients have responded with their comments of praise and encouragement for the home health care services they and their family have received. Each year since the founding of the Pittsburgh office, the Donohues have experienced substantial growth. As the need for additional caregivers grew, Tom and Mary obtained a second territory in 2007 covering Upper St. Clair, Peters Township, North Strabane, McMurray, Finleyville and other areas of northern Washington and southern Allegheny Counties. All administrative operations continued in the main office in the South Park / Pleasant Hills area. In 2008, Mary assumed management of a new territory with a satellite office based in Monroeville. This office too has experienced a large demand for elder care services in the Penn Hills, Plum, Murrysville, North Huntingdon and other municipalities in eastern Allegheny and western Westmoreland Counties.
