CK GA Nat. Caregiver Award Mary 1 Comfort Keepers Recognizes Mary Pratt From Northern Georgia with National Caregiver of the Year Award Comfort Keepers of North Georgia is proud to announce that Mary Pratt, a longtime North Georgia caregiver based in Dawsonville, has been named recipient of the National Caregiver of the Year Award, one of the organization’s highest honors recognizing caregivers who exemplify compassion, consistency, and meaningful connection in the lives of those they serve.

With more than 14 years of service, Mary was selected as both a national honoree and regional winner representing the Cumming, Georgia office. Her recognition places her among the most exceptional caregivers across the Comfort Keepers network and highlights the extraordinary level of care being delivered in North Georgia.

Mary’s honor is also part of a larger milestone for Comfort Keepers’ Georgia locations, where three caregivers were recognized as Local Caregivers of the Year, alongside Mary receiving the organization’s national award. Together, these recognitions reflect the strength and compassion of caregivers serving seniors and families across the region.

Mary’s caregiving journey has been defined by long-term relationships, trust, and unwavering dedication. Over the years, she has supported many families, including one client she cared for for more than a decade.

Their time together began with simple joys such as bingo outings, salon visits, and shared laughter. As care needs evolved, Mary remained a steady presence, assisting with daily routines, preparing meals, and offering companionship through every stage of care. A shared personal loss deepened the bond between Mary and her client, creating a relationship that extended well beyond routine support. Even after her client’s passing, Mary continues to honor that connection, reflecting the lasting impact a caregiver can have.

The National Caregiver of the Year Award recognizes caregivers who embody Comfort Keepers’ relationship-centered approach to in-home care and consistently go above and beyond to support seniors and their families. Mary’s recognition reflects the type of dependable, compassionate care many families seek when looking for support for an aging loved one.

“Mary represents the heart of what we do every day,” said Jennifer Jack-Wunder, owner of Comfort Keepers Cumming. “Her compassion, consistency, and dedication to building meaningful relationships truly set her apart. She has touched countless lives through her commitment, and we are incredibly proud to recognize her impact, her years of service, and the difference she continues to make for families in our community.”

Jennifer Jack-Wunder added, “To have a national award winner here in North Georgia, alongside multiple local caregiver honorees across our Georgia offices, is an extraordinary achievement and a testament to the caliber of caregivers serving our clients every day.”

For families balancing work, caregiving responsibilities, and decisions about aging loved ones, Mary’s story reflects how meaningful support can begin with small moments and grow into trusted, lasting care that brings peace of mind.

Comfort Keepers provides in-home care services designed to help seniors live safely, comfortably, and independently at home while maintaining quality of life.
