“I have an unusual love and passion for helping people.”

At ComForCare Greater Orlando, we know in order to provide the best care possible to clients, we must hire quality individuals to be a part of our team. Each one of our caregivers in Greater Orlando are experienced and highly trained in home care best practices. We provide continuous education to ensure the most up-to-date care techniques are used when caring for our clients.

In order to develop strong, trusting relationships between clients and caregivers, we carefully match clients with caregivers whose interests, life experiences and personalities complement their own. Before we ever select caregivers, we meet with clients, take note of their personality and speak with them about their life history to help us select the most compatible caregiver.

We are proud to have each of these individuals as members of our team in Greater Orlando.

Why I Opened My ComForCare Location

I had a unique plan for my life: I wanted to work as hard as possible in life and retire, then spend my days volunteering as a hospice nurse. I spent the first 10 years of my career as a pediatric and physical rehabilitation nurse, followed by 20 years as a device manufacturer representative, helping people in chronic pain. As I pondered what to do with the next few years of my life, I came across the opportunity to open a ComForCare franchise location. For me, it’s a perfect fit. My extensive clinical background has proven to be a great asset in the development of ComForCare Greater Orlando into a premier provider of superb home care for our clients. This new venture in my life has afforded me the opportunity to do what I love – helping people to find solutions that help improve their life. Approaching a time in life when you need help to maintain your independence and quality of life can be a challenging time for clients and families. You may not know where to begin. We are dedicated to not only helping you find the options available but providing the best care possible.

Our Dedication

This venture is nothing less than a team effort, and we have an amazing, dedicated team. We know we have to do whatever is right by our clients and that starts with our caregivers. Through education, training and extensive development programs, we invest in our caregivers, so they can reach new heights in their careers as well as serve our clients to the best of their ability. We are available 24/7 not only to our clients but to our caregivers as well, so no one will ever feel alone. This has created a family culture in our office that we pride ourselves on extending to our clients and their families.
