How Caregivers Find Joy in 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 for a variety of reasons, whether through personal experience or simply a deep-seated need for nurturing and empathy, they share a common attribute: the love of making someone else’s life better. Each one is integral to our cause and at the center of all 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 — to make sure all the senior’s needs and wishes are addressed.

Today, 80 percent of older Canadians prefer to stay at home as they age.  This means families are more directly involved than ever in their loved ones’ senior care.  So, it is more important than ever for families to be involved in the planning stage together. No single individual can adequately handle the responsibilities of caregiving alone. Certainly not on top of responsibilities at work and with their own families and community involvement.

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 much 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, as there are many advantages of being a caregiver. 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 the empathy and concern for others that 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 are increasingly wishing 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.
