Personal & Practical Care
The Circle of Comfort Plan
Helping You Live Comfortably & Independently at Home
The Circle of Comfort is our daily support foundation, focusing on personal and practical care. We prioritise independence and routine for clients. Our carers provide respectful assistance with daily activities, enhancing comfort and dignity. We tailor care for older adults, hospital recovery, and those with limited mobility. Personal care is discreet, ensuring privacy. We also manage tasks and chores, helping clients and families maintain a safe, tidy home.
Services We Provide
All Circle of Comfort care plans are nurse-supervised to ensure timely responses to any health or routine changes. If a client's mobility or health concern changes, we swiftly involve nursing staff or recommend additional support.
Personal Care Assistance
Help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting, all done with utmost respect for the person’s comfort and dignity.
Mobility & Transfers
Support with moving safely around the home, gentle exercises, and positioning (including the use of hoists or mobility aids if needed).
Meal Preparation & Feeding
Planning and preparing nutritious meals, assisting with eating if required, while respecting dietary needs and preferences.
Medication Reminders
Prompting and reminding clients to take prescribed medications on time (with nurse oversight for any complex medication schedules).
Household Tasks
Light housekeeping such as laundry, changing bed linens, cleaning up, and grocery shopping or running errands to keep the household comfortable.
Respite for Family
Stepping in to give family caregivers a much-needed break, with confidence that their loved one is well cared for during that time.
Our Approach
It’s not just about performing tasks – it’s about doing them in a way that honours the person’s lifestyle and choices. We match clients with compatible caregivers who build friendly relationships over time. You’ll often find our caregivers and clients sharing stories, laughing over memories, or sitting down for a cup of tea together after tidying up. It’s these small moments in the circle of care that bring comfort and a sense of normalcy to each day.
In short, Circle of Comfort ensures that the basics are done right – every day – so clients feel cared for, supported, and comfortable at home. If you or a loved one could use help with daily living or just an extra pair of hands around the house, our Circle of Comfort services are here for you.
Moments That Matter
Instead of just providing help, we focus on creating meaningful moments — from a warm chat over tea to helping someone get dressed in a way that makes them feel like themselves. These everyday interactions build trust, comfort, and familiarity. That’s what Circle of Comfort is all about: small gestures that make a big difference.
Led By Nurses, Tailored to You
What sets our Circle of Comfort apart is the clinical oversight behind every plan. Each client’s daily care routine is shaped and reviewed by a registered nurse, ensuring the support provided is not only compassionate, but appropriate for their health needs. From choosing the right mobility aids to monitoring subtle changes in wellbeing, our nurse-led approach gives families peace of mind and clients the confidence to stay at home safely and comfortably.

Real Plans Blend, Always Have, Always Will
What you’ve just read might be part of the plan — but not the full picture.
Care isn’t one-dimensional. And neither are the people we support.
We combine support across our Five Shapes of Care to build plans that actually fit — clinically, emotionally, and practically.
No templates. No guesswork. Just care that makes sense.
