Meet Jodi-Ann

I’m Jodi-Ann Mitchell, founder of Comfort Care, based in Gloucester. I have worked in phlebotomy since 2011, alongside healthcare assistant roles in NHS hospital and mental health settings, healthcare training and teaching phlebotomy. I am also studying Health and Care Management.

Comfort Care’s home support is especially focused on adults living with mental health needs or dementia. I take time to get to know the person, their interests, familiar routines and the things that help them feel comfortable.

Those experiences have shown me how much a calm manner, clear communication and a little extra patience can mean to someone. Whether a person feels anxious about needles or needs practical support at home, I want them to feel listened to, respected and comfortable asking questions.

I started Comfort Care because the way support is given matters as much as the task itself. A visit is an opportunity to build trust, offer reassurance and make someone’s day a little easier. People deserve to feel cared for as individuals, with their own routines, preferences and choices.

Dignity, privacy and independence are central to my approach. I respect each person’s decisions and encourage them to do as much as they can and want to do for themselves. I value feedback from clients and, with their agreement, the people close to them.

My experience of teaching phlebotomy also shapes Comfort Care’s mentoring: patient, practical support to help learners build confidence after their initial training.

If you are looking for mobile blood collection, companionship, dementia support or transport, I would be happy to talk through what you need. We will discuss suitability, availability and price before making an arrangement.
