An interview with Ethan Martin of Comfort Keepers Vancouver:

Nearly ten years ago, Comfort Keepers began with a family that wanted to make a difference. This is where Ethan Martin’s career flourished. His history gave him a strong desire to enhance the quality of life for seniors in the Lower Mainland and Greater Victoria region. Ethan joined the company during the pandemic inspired by his mother’s vision, seeking a meaningful purpose aligned with his values.

A primary motivation for Ethan was his desire to age gracefully, experience life to the fullest, and empower others to do the same. As an owner, Ethan wears many hats, including directing client services and scheduling teams while working closely with family to guarantee smooth operations. Their combined efforts epitomize a family-run business where respect, honesty, integrity, and compassion are the guiding values.

Comfort Keepers treats its staff as family, ensuring their well-being remains a priority

Coming from a Kinesiology background, Ethan has always loved helping people and ensuring they are provided care correctly. His experiences with caregiver burnout led him to dedicate himself to health and safety, constantly promoting safe and secure workplaces.

Ethan consistently cultivates a welcoming work environment by incorporating Comfort Keepers’ essential principles into all he does. He knows his colleagues do the same and genuinely values those who help make Comfort Keepers a ‘home.’

Comfort Keepers treats its staff as family, ensuring their well-being remains a priority. By acknowledging employees’ accomplishments, working with patients to ensure safe and successful treatment, and strategic initiatives and feedback loops.

Ethan always works in the background to improve recruitment, retention, and prevention of burnout. As the industry moves forward with less staff to support a larger aging population, this is the most significant project they can work on. Despite transformations and cultural shifts, Ethan’s unwavering dedication to the company’s vision has produced outstanding achievements.

Ethan Martin of Vancouver says, “SafeCare BC is at the front of it all…”

SafeCare BC is at the front of it all,” Ethan says, “They are the first response for health and safety concerns in our sector.” For Ethan, SafeCare BC highlighted a big need for safety-focused programs in the field, which is why he originally wanted to join the committee. Ethan’s involvement with SafeCare BC further exemplifies his dedication to industry-wide improvement, actively participating in technical committees and initiatives to enhance safety and retention.

In the future, Ethan hopes to deepen Comfort Keepers’ fundamental principles among its employees, encouraging chances for personal and professional development while putting safety and well-being first. In addition to his desire to advance as a leader, he also wants to ensure Comfort Keepers lowers the risk of workplace injuries, increases employee longevity, and provides the greatest possible care for the people it serves. Ethan emphasizes his gratitude for the Comfort Keepers’ staff, recognizing that they are the reason the business functions efficiently and notes that their positive attitudes motivate him daily.
