About Us

Welcome to Comfort Homecare, where compassion meets professionalism. Founded in the summer of 2021 by Dara Shortt, our company embodies a lifetime of caring and an unwavering entrepreneurial spirit. 

With a profound vision of “Putting Tenderness Back into Homecare,” Dara embarked on a journey to redefine the standards of in-home assistance.

Driven by personal experiences of caring for loved ones and witnessing the profound impact carers can have on families, Dara set out to extend her passion for caring for the most vulnerable into the community. Quickly earning a reputation for compassion, empathy, and dignity, Dara laid the foundation for Comfort Homecare’s mission.

At Comfort Homecare, we believe that every individual deserves personalized care that respects their dignity and autonomy. Dara’s vision was clear: to establish a company where values are not just spoken but lived by every member of our team. Thus, the principles of empathy, compassion, dignity, and respect became the cornerstone of our organization.

Today, as it was in our inception, each caregiver at Comfort Homecare is trained in “Person Centered Care” with a commitment to prioritizing the unique needs and preferences of every client. We inspire our team to embody these values each day, ensuring that every interaction is marked by warmth, understanding, and genuine care.

Join us at Comfort Homecare, where we strive to make a difference in the lives of those we serve, one compassionate gesture at a time.
