What our clients are saying about Comfort Makers
I contacted comfort makers November 2021 as I had fractured my ankle and was unable to drive myself to work of 15 years. At the ripe age of 61, I don't take change gracefully. I've lost a lot of my independence having to rely on others for pretty much everything I had always taken for granted. What the caring cheerful staff at "Confort Makers" have given me back is priceless. They have met my need of having done sort of control and sends me schedules for the week. They come my home help get me ready for day breakfast start makings for dinner misc housework. They have respected me & allowed me to keep my modesty & dignity when I needed help showering. They were also able to take me to dentist in Portland and wait. Once my road was to icing to drive up, she parked on the shoulder and walked up!! Talk about going the extra mile. That goes for my requests to stop for coffee or food, always cheerfully all agreed to. And always when they leave me at home or work they ask if there is anything else I need or anything else they can do for me. As I said earlier, "Priceless".

“It was so hard for my sister and myself to deal with the loss of our mother. In fact, we are both still struggling. We are both grateful to all the folks at Comfort Makers. You all made mom’s life so much better. She looked forward to the days she saw her “helpers.” Thank you for all the kind, loving care you gave our mother and thank you for the peace of mind you gave my sister and myself.”
— Martha
“Upon first calling Comfort Makers they responded with all my questions I had about their care services. They quickly set up an appointment for a care assessment conducted by a nurse for my 98 year old dad and 93 year old mother. They could start care giving right away which put me at ease. Katie chose very appropriate and reliable care givers for my parents, which was truly a comfort. I highly recommend giving Comfort Makers a call if you are looking for in home care for yourself or a family member.”

“All the ladies are very nice and gentle. They aim to please. They try and make me feel better. They’re patient. I enjoy every one of them that come. They’re never in a rush. They take time. They always make sure each caregiver knows what the last caregiver has done before them and how they helped me. They are people that know what they’re doing.”
—Margarete D.
“Initially, I was very reluctant to use a third party caregiver agency; I actually thought that I was capable of providing all of the care-giving that my wife needed. I was wrong!
Comfort Makers is local to me in St. Helens and I prefer it that way. After the first couple of weeks, I found that the stress I was feeling had decreased and my wife was comfortable with the caregivers.
I need to add some compliments to a couple of the caregivers, Tawnya and Katie. Both of these women are very professional and good at what they do. Please continue your good work
I have no reservations with leaving my wife under the care of Comfort Makers and I recommend them.”
—Larry Byrum
“When an insurance company decision resulted in my sister being discharged from a rehab facility 3 weeks before her therapists felt she was ready, Comfort Makers saved us! She came home before she was OKed to walk independently with her walker or use her toilet and shower. As a burned out caregiver with health problems of my own there was no way I could have handled sponge baths, bedside commodes, and the rest of her care all on my own. Katie responded promptly. She and a very compassionate nurse did a thorough assessment on our first day home and care started the next day. My sister does not always adjust easily to change, but every caregiver she had was so friendly and caring that she liked them all. And they were all so efficient! My sister and I were amazed at how much they accomplished in the two hours per day they were with her. Those two hours gave me a much-needed respite to go home and catch up on my own life a little. A silver lining to the month I spent at my sister’s with Comfort Makers there to help was that it gave me an opportunity to get every inch of her apartment cleaned and organized, something I had lost control of over the years as we careened from one health crisis to the next. The magnitude of the task overwhelmed me when I faced it alone, but it turned out that several of the Comfort Maker caregivers were great organizers. With their help, my sister, her cat, and her apartment were all very well-cared for.”

“Comfort Makers, came to my rescue after many attempts on my part to get help with any task around the house (cleaning, laundry) I was incapable of doing.

“Comfort Makers have given my sister and I a sense of peace knowing our dad has wonderful visitors every day to keep him active and safe. At 101 years old, he would get very lonely during the day. His new “friends” brighten his day. I can’t speak highly enough of Katie and her team and the heart they have for our precious seniors. If you have a senior who needs a little or a lot of help, give them a call today, I wish I would have called months ago.”
— Heidi Ralls

“My Mom was living in an assisted living in Scappoose and wandered off one too many times. We were told she would have to move and until that happened she'd need 24 hour supervision. Luckily someone told me about Comfort Makers! Within a few hours they were onsite to make an assessment of her needs and were ready at that time to help care for her. I think Mom got a little spoiled having someone around to walk with, listen to her stories and just keep her safe. It was a tough situation and I'm very thankful for Katie and her outstanding team.”
— Kim Hulings

“It is a privilege to share our experiences with Comfort Makers of St. Helens. We have found the owner and employees to be extremely caring, capable, and flexible in accommodating the needs of our aging mother. We appreciate their ability to adapt to changing needs and schedules and provide a number of services including monitoring medications, light housekeeping, errands, etc. and giving us constant feedback. Their care has greatly reduced our personal stress level, knowing that our mother is now able to remain in her own home and receiving excellent care.”

“Comfort Makers was just the ticket for me. My family was busy with work and a new born grand daughter. My daughter, an RN found them. They were flexible, providing 1.5 hours in home help twice a day. I only needed them for a short time. I had just come home from the hospital after having my second total knee replacement. They were able to provide a variety of services including shopping, cleaning, carrying the heavy (to me) Berg Polar Care Cube which cools your knee alieving pain. I healed quickly from my surgery and only needed their services for about a week. The were affordable, reliable, professional and flexible. I highly recommend their services should your family need some help.”
— Ross Dickinson

Katie and her staff are not only professional, very caring, compassionate, they are a pleasure to have in my home. Offering a wide variety of services that I plan on using in the future. Not only was it a pleasure to have worked with them, they are very affordable as well! I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of their services.”
