Caring for an ailing or elderly family member can be a meaningful and rewarding experience. However, if you are doing it alone, it can also be emotionally and physically demanding. In fact, according to Caregiver.org, an estimated 17-35% of family caregivers view their health as fair to poor. Let us step in to give you a break, so you’re at your best for yourself and your loved one.
You never know what the future may bring or what ailments may appear. Having so little control over the situation can cause a lot of stress. ComForCare caregivers can provide a fresh and professional perspective, letting you know if they spot changes in someone’s condition or detect any other types of potential issues. Having a helping hand and another eye on the situation can help ease some of the pressure.
Whether you need respite home care for just a few hours a week or every day, we can meet your needs. Even if you just want a caregiver to sit with your friend or family while you run errands worry-free, we’ll be there. If you are going on vacation or need a little time to rest, we’ll make sure you have the help you need by making changes to scheduling when you are ready. 24-hour care is available as well for those with greater needs.
ComForCare can help you find groups of others who, like you, are dealing with caring for a family member. Sharing your story with others that are going through the same things can be refreshing. Other family caregivers may also have tips and advice to share that can help ease difficulties. You can check for support groups in your area on government sites such as Family Caregiver Alliance or benefit from suggestions from ComForCare caregivers that know about caregiver support groups in the area.
To be at your best to care for someone else, you must first take care of yourself. In order to do this, you must share the workload. Your family member will be safe and comfortable at home with a ComForCare caregiver.

Respite care is a short-term care arrangement. It benefits caregivers by providing coverage when they need to take a break and recharge; this is an effective way of preventing caregiver burnout or caregiver fatigue.
This depends on what area you’re in but, in general, yes! ComForCare has locations all over Canada and respite care is available at them all. As we hire a wide variety of caregivers, we can accommodate unique care needs you or your loved one may have.
Short-term care benefits seniors by providing a safety net while they recover from an injury or major surgery. Most recovery periods require specific measures to ensure proper healing, which often involves minimal movement, light, if any, lifting, and copious amounts of rest. Respite caregivers help ensure individuals stick to their personalized recovery plans.
Depending on your area, availability will fluctuate. In general, however, you should be able to find short-term senior care near you. ComForCare has locations across Canada, and we do our best to provide support to anyone who inquires.
As this type of care is specifically defined by the duration it’s needed for and the type of support required, the types of services included may vary.

The duration of short-term care services is dependent on personal needs. Whether a doctor-advised recovery period or a break for a family caregiver, you will understand what length is necessary for your unique situation. Traditionally, short-term care services are offered anywhere from a few days to several months; however, if it extends beyond a year, we may have to discuss long-term options.
