If you decide to apply for a home carer position with Comfort Keepers, you’ll find that we offer all our carers a range of supports.
Reporting concerns
Firstly, our carers can report any concerns or worries to their Client Care Manager. These may be thoughts about a client’s needs changing or concerns about their health. Client Care Managers visit each client once a quarter to re-assess their care but these concerns can be raised and clients’ conditions re-visited at any stage.
