D’Arcy Falkiner – Owner

I started Comfort Keepers of Parksville, Qualicum Beach, and Nanaimo in March 2018.  I was very attracted to the philosophy behind the Comfort Keepers Vision.

As a registered nurse for 35 yrs, I have practiced all over the world, often choosing to work with frail elderly, an area I find so intensely rewarding.  A common thread through all countries and cultures is that these people do not want to face the possibility of moving into an institution.  They would much rather stay in their homes, surrounded by their important memories and treasures, things they have spent a lifetime accumulating.   I am so happy to bring this reputable organization to the Oceanside area.  I look forward to helping people as they age in place, helping them through all stages of later life, in the most respectful way possible.

I have a wonderful group of caring compassionate, skilled Comfort Keepers working for me.  They are certified, bonded, and insured. Each Comfort Keeper is matched to a client and will stay with that client to develop a relationship, which may turn into a friendship. Our care is interactive and involves the client as much as possible. We do not rush in and out.

Our services include companion care and personal care. We have a hospital to home initiative and also can help with palliative and 24 hour care.  If there is a need, we can take a look and see if we can help.
