Home Based Care

Do you have someone near and dear to you who needs to be cared for in their own home?  Or perhaps you find yourself responsible for the well-being of someone who is elderly, infirm or disabled.

If so, please read on...

CG Carers offers a professional, home-based caring service, which is delivered in an efficient and empathetic way by compassionate carers and support staff.  Working Together For a Quality Life is the cornerstone of our business.

In 2004 Cathie Goodman and a  friend established their caring service in Pietermaritzburg for those people who need care and support in their own homes.  Cathie had gained experience doing care work in the United Kingdom and realised the need for a similar service in South Africa.  This is especially so for elderly parents who live in this country while their children live abroad.

CG Carers is a registered company managed by professional nurses. 
CG Carers offers a one-on-one, live-in and part-time service to assist people in need of care and support, and who wish to remain in their own established and familiar surroundings.
