In Home Nursing Services in Halifax, NS and the Surrounding Areas

Comfort Keepers of Halifax, NS offers in home nursing services, with one-on-one medical care, with the goal of improving the life of your loved one.

There are times when the medical needs of seniors or the disabled are too much for family caregivers. So, in addition to Comfort Keepers of Halifax’s traditional in home care services, we also offer in home nursing services, giving one-on-one medical care to an individual at home or in a facility. Working together with the caregiver, a private nurse can help deliver a level of care not normally available outside a medical facility.
