How Cardinal Comfort Care Can Help You
Sometimes a family caregiver or home health aide just cannot meet the increasing medical needs of caring for a loved one at home.
A specially trained private duty nurse provides the level of care your loved one needs to stay safely at home rather than in a nursing facility or hospital.
Cardinal Comfort Care private duty nurses are available to assist clients with regularly scheduled nursing visits or hourly care for extended shifts Monday through Friday. We work closely with the client’s medical team and family to provide extended support.
Caregivers do not need to let non-stop caregiving take a toll on their physical and emotional health. Our caring staff can serve their loved ones while they receive much-needed rest.
Cardinal Comfort Care, LLC is now a certified Consumer Directed Services (CDS) provider in Missouri. That means that medicaid and medicare recipients can have a family member or friend be paid to help with a variety of services at home.

We can assist with respite care, referred to as “short break care” in some countries. We provide professional in-home care for seniors and other adults who require assistance to temporarily relieve caregivers so they can attend to other matters such as:
Running errands
Doing much needed shopping
Meet with a support group
Make dentist or doctor appointments
Enjoy much-deserved alone time
Respite care services give caregivers the unique opportunity to leave home for a few hours with the peace of mind that comes with knowing their loved ones are in capable hands.
