Comfort Carers | Services we Offer

quote

After my husband fell sick with dementia I was at a loss to know what to do for him. He needed professional help and I was put in touch with a young lady named Gillian Burns from a company called Comfort Carers – she runs a caring service business.

She was extremely helpful and polite and very efficient in her service.

A carer was arranged immediately for my husband and I therefore felt a lot at ease.

I was very pleased with the carer, she was very professional and in no time my husband was able to look after himself with the help from me.

I will not hesitate to recommend Comfort Carers and Gillian Burns.

Caregivers

A Caregiver provides a personalised service assisting the frail, disabled and/or family member in the comfort and privacy of their own home. They assist in every possible way for the care of the member.

All Caregivers have completed a home base care course and most have done first aid too. They all have experience in working as a carer.

Duties of a Caregiver:

Transport and Mobility – assistance with daily activities and mobility support and helping around the house
Transferring and positioning – help to change and correct the posture of a patient, avoiding health problems such as bedsores
Exercise routines – it is vital for a healthy lifestyle because it enhances and maintains physical fitness, mental, and overall health

Hospital After Care

In the modern world today hospital patients are discharged as soon as possible. We provide hospital after care in the clients own home where recovery is often needed by being in a familiar environment.

You may require a nursing sister or a Caregiver depending on your needs.

Companionship

Companions give clients the freedom to live independently, to plan their own schedules around their needs, to relax and enjoy life knowing that their health and well being is being taken care of.

Companions provide for social interactions which help to alleviate loneliness.

Companions can accompany clients to appointments, visits with friends, on walks, to the movies and shops and can also read to clients and play board games with them.

Whatever a client feels like doing, a companion can provide for, unlike in an assisted living facility where a patient needs to follow the facilities routines.
