Understanding Privately Funded Home Support
Private home support offers flexibility, choice, and personalised care tailored to your unique needs. It can include everything from assistance with personal care and household tasks to help getting to appointments, shopping, and staying socially connected.
If you’re considering privately funded care, Comfort Keepers can support you through the process—starting with a no-commitment, free-of-charge care consultation.
Step by Step: Getting Started with Home Support
1. Free Care Consultation
Contact Comfort Keepers directly to arrange a no-obligation consultation. One of our experienced team members will talk with you (and your family, if you wish) to understand your needs, preferences, and daily routine.
2. Personalised Support Plan
Following the consultation, we’ll create a tailored support plan designed around your lifestyle. Whether you need help with personal care, companionship, errands, or regular outings—you choose the services that matter most to you.
3. Flexible Scheduling
With private care, you can choose the days, times, and length of support that suit your routine. You’re not limited by fixed hours, and you can increase or decrease support as needed.
4. Dedicated, Trained Care Professionals
All of our care professionals are fully trained, Garda vetted and supported by experienced managers. You’ll have the peace of mind of knowing your care is being delivered safely, respectfully, and reliably.
5. Ongoing Support and Review
Once your care begins, we regularly review your plan with you to ensure it continues to meet your needs. We’re always here to adjust things if anything changes.
What About Tax Relief?
If you’re paying for home support privately—either for yourself or a loved one—you may be eligible for tax relief of up to 40% on the costs.
