Patient Centered Care

Help your loved one live their best life possible with ComForCare care services.

Dignity and Respect

Health care practitioners listen to and honor patient and family perspectives and choices. Patient and family knowledge, values, beliefs, and cultural backgrounds are incorporated into the planning and delivery of care. This may include making special accommodations for religious restrictions regarding meal preparation and other similar considerations when applied to home care or other care situations. Operating this way helps to create a relationship in which all parties are mutually respectful and respected.

Patient Centered Care — It's What We Do Best

Patient and family-centred care is an innovative approach to the planning, delivery and evaluation of health care. This facilitates mutually beneficial partnerships among health care providers, patients and families. Patient- and family-centred care applies to people of all ages, and it may be practiced in any setting.

Information Sharing

Caregivers communicate and share complete and unbiased information with patients and families in ways that are affirming and useful. Patients and families receive timely, complete, and accurate information in order to effectively participate in care and decision-making. When home care services are used to assist with care, caregivers can provide additional insights that can help clients to best manage conditions and enjoy the highest quality of life.

Participation

Clients and families are encouraged and supported in participating in care and decision making at the level they choose. When ComForCare caregivers assist with client care, caregivers work closely with clients and family members to determine scheduling and care needs. Family members can take as little or as much control over caregiving as desired, with ComForCare caregivers filling in the gaps or taking charge as needed. Meeting client needs and wishes is a priority. Read more about respite care for family caregivers.

Collaboration

Patients and families are also included on an institution-wide basis. Health care leaders collaborate with patients and families in policy and program development, implementation and evaluation. Patients’ and families’ suggestions and insights are also considered when making changes to health care facility design and in professional education, along with the delivery of care. ComForCare uses patient and family suggestions, as well as patients’ needs evaluations, to determine how best to provide care for each individual. This information is also ultimately used to improve care for all patients in the area. Patients may be given more companionship time, have more attention focused on condition management, or other changes may be made to care routines as determined through collaboration with patients and families.

Better Care Starts Here

Read how we are helping older adults live their best lives possible. Here is what clients say about their experience with our agency.

"January 24, 2023 by J.R."

"ComForCare has cared for my 90 year old Dad and 92 year old Mom for the last 10-12 years. My Dad passed away almost two years ago and my Mom now has 24 hour care. They do an amazing job taking care of her. I finally want to say that my parents caregivers are like family. An example of that is when my Dad passed way and we had his Celebration of Life Service in our back yard- we only invited close friends and the ComForCare caregivers. I would highly recommend ComForCare!! We live in Atlanta and it gives us great peace of mind knowing that my Mom is well taken care of by ComForCare."

"We have 24 hour care with ComForCare for my 92 year old Mom. They love and care for Mom as if she was their own Mom. The caregivers are family. In fact when my Dad passed away a year and half ago we had a small service of celebrating my Dad’s amazing life and the only people we invited were family and the caregivers from ComForCare."
