In-Home Care in Wichita, Kansas and Surrounding Areas

In the fall of 2007, the Stark Family (pioneers of Comfort Care Homes of Wichita), and the Wurth Family, (owners of Arbor Springs Health Care Management) joined forces and purchased the franchise.  The combined time these two families have been helping people carry on their lives with dignity, compassion, and safety total more than 55 years.  With both founding families already deeply involved in the care of people who are afflicted with Alzheimer’s and other disorders, and their understanding of the daily struggles families face with their loved ones, Comfort Keepers was a natural fit for them.

The Comfort Keepers Advantage


Client Care Process

To ensure that each client receives the quality they deserve, we have designed a team approach that involves a six step check process.  This process guarantees the highest quality of care for the clients, and helps Comfort Keepers identify and changes that may take place with each client’s needs.  

  1. Initial phone contact with family member or client.
  2. In-Home visit conducted by Director/Client Care Coordinator helps Comfort Keepers meet the client’s needs.  This is accomplished through a comprehensive assessment of the client’s environment, medical condition, and home safety.  The result is a customized plan of care designed to meet each of the client’s needs.     
  3. Introduction of Comfort Keeper caregiver by the Director/Client Care Coordinator.    
  4. Call placed to client after the first shift.
  5. Friendly visit within the first month.  
  6. Quarterly re-assessments and supervisory visits.

Highly Trained Comfort Keepers

  • No Matter the experience level, all Comfort Keepers go through the Comfort Keepers’ training so they are trained the Comfort Keepers’ way.
  • Modules of training include: HIPPA & Privacy Practices, Home Safety, Wheelchair/Transfers, Infection Control, Managing Medication, Fall Prevention, Elder Abuse, Hearing Loss, Alzheimer’s, Personal Hygiene Care, Interactive Caregiving, Homemaking, Nutrition, and Diseases Associated with Aging. 

Keeping our Clients involved through Interactive Caregiving

  • Comfort Keepers encourage client interaction and participation in order to maintain our client’s independence and dignity.  
  • One of our biggest fears of the elderly is change and loss of independence.  Maintaining the client’s dignity and respect by involving them heightens their level of confidence and allows them to maintain “control” over their environment.  
  • Interactive Caregiving increases their need to feel useful and important.  
  • Studies have shown, keeping seniors mentally and emotionally engaged in everyday life is as, if not more important than their physical care.  Although physical ability is very important…there is a connection between physical and mental/emotional well-being. 

For Your Protection

  • Comfort Keepers are carefully matched and assigned by the Client Care Coordinator based on personality, needs of the client, skills, and experience of the Comfort Keeper.   
  • All staff members are employees of Comfort Keepers.  They are not independent contractors.  We take responsibility for the following so our clients are not held responsible as an employer:
    • Bonding and Liability insurance for your protection.
    • Worker’s Compensation Insurance so an injury that might occur in a client’s home will not place the client in financial jeopardy.
    • Payment of all payroll taxes, i.e. FICA, Medicare, income, unemployment, and the like with all federal, state and local taxing authorities so clients will not have to bear this legal responsibility.  
    • Managing the client and caregiver relationship, including assignments, scheduling, supervision and training.  
  • Comfort Keepers’ utilizes the gold standard when conducting criminal record checks on all of our potential new employees.  Comfort Keepers has a “zero tolerance” policy for all misdemeanor and felony convictions. 
  • Background checks consist of:
    • Social Security Trace to confirm a match between the caregiver’s name(s), social security number and residences.
    • In-person County Criminal check for a minimum of the last seven years in each county of residence run on all names, aliases and aka’s found through the Social Security trace.
    • National Criminal Database search including Sex Offender, Abuse and Violent Offender registries for all names found on Social Security trace. 
    • Motor Vehicle Driving record for all states of residence for the last three years.  
    • Annual Re-certification for notification of offenses occurring after hire.
    • Safety is a primary concern for everyone.  Comfort Keepers “Safety Choice” program can provide you with monitoring devices that provide continuous coverage and peace-of-mind no matter what time of day.
