How Caregivers Find Joy Every Day in Edmonton, AB with Comfort Keepers®

Comfort Keepers® Find Joy | Our staff comes from many different walks of life, each equipped with a special blend of understanding, sympathy, and a passion to make a difference. Caregiving is more than just an occupation for these individuals, it is a mission.

No matter their inspiration, our caregivers are the foundation of our mission. Drawn to caregiving whether through personal experience or simply a deep-seated need for nurturing and empathy, caregivers share a common attribute: the love of making someone else’s life better. Each caregiver is integral to Comfort Keepers®’s cause and the hub of everything we do.

How Comfort Keepers® Make a Difference in Senior Homecare

It takes a family working together to choose the most appropriate option for a loved one’s senior care and ensure that a senior’s needs and wishes are met.

Today, 80 percent of older Canadians prefer to age in place.  This means families are more directly involved than ever in their loved ones’ senior care.  Now more than ever, families need to be involved in the planning stage for home care.

You may also consider options that match your parent’s unique traits and temperament. For instance, is your parent typically a thinker or a socializer? Thinkers desire space and privacy and prefer independence, reading, and working quietly alone. On the other hand, socializers are energized by people. They enjoy interactions with others and act lonely without regular interaction.

Why Our Caregivers Love What They Do

For those gifted with a caring spirit, being a caregiver is more than just a job – it’s an inspirational calling. We proudly encourage dedicated individuals who strive to make a difference in other people’s lives. Hear what our team of dedicated caregivers have to say about the sense of fulfillment they gain from providing care and support.

Comfort Keepers® Find Joy; Reasons Why to Choose a Career as a Caregiver

It takes a unique person to be a caregiver—someone with empathy and concern for others is necessary to work with seniors and make a difference in their lives.

Comfort Keepers® caregivers have a unique ability to bring joy and fulfillment to their clients, while also bringing contentment to themselves through helping those in need.

Our caregivers come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, but they all have some things in common, such as:

• Empathy – understanding the feelings of others on a deeply personal level.
• Compassionate – sympathetic to the needs and challenges of others and want to help them find more joy and fulfillment in their daily lives.
• A desire to make a difference – a sincere desire to make a difference in people’s lives and care about the seniors and families they work with.

The Comfort Keepers® Difference

As seniors age, they wish for a safe and comfortable lifestyle in their own homes. This has resulted in an ever-growing need for compassionate caregivers.

If you are looking for a job that offers satisfaction through supporting others, the role of a professional caregiver is an option to consider. Working directly with individuals can create gratifying relationships that add joy to their lives and yours. Plus, the hours can be quite flexible.

At Comfort Keepers® we are devoted to both our caregivers and clients. We strive to offer the best possible service, providing our care providers with sound instruction, required supplies, and helpful advice. A supportive atmosphere leads to improved home care for our clients, and we endeavour to ensure our caregivers have a positive experience.
