John O’Callaghan

John developed an appreciation for all aspects of seniors aging when he was a young teenager and his great-grandmother from Grayson, Kentucky came to live with his family. Mama Yates lived to be 101 years old and was an integral part of John’s life, sparking his passion for senior care as a career.
After spending a large portion of his career in the business world, John left his corporate position at the Papa John’s company in 2007 and started down the path that would eventually lead to the founding of Premier Caregiver Services. In 2015, John became the Owner and Agency Manager of the caregiving company and now solely focuses on helping his team provide the best caregivers in the market.
