Meet Our Comfort Keepers^®

Comfort Keepers are the compassionate people who deliver Comfort Keepers’ premier brand of in-home caregiving. They enrich the lives of seniors and other adults as they help them live safely, happily and independently in the comfort of their own homes.

Comfort Keepers are professional and well trained. What truly sets them above other in-home caregivers, however, is their natural gift for caring for others. They have a heart for caregiving—and Comfort Keepers has a thorough screening and interviewing process to identify them from those less devoted.

We strive to be a leader in our industry.  Only those who pass this process go on to complete 8 hours of training training and 12 CUEs annually to deliver our special brand of care—and become Comfort Keepers. Our Comfort Keepers also pass extensive background checks and complete continuing education. Also, they’re bonded, insured and covered by Workers' Compensation insurance to protect our clients and their families—and because they are Comfort Keepers employees, we take care of their payroll taxes.

• We do a national as well as a state background check on all of our employees – we also continue to do an annual national background check on all of our employees (we believe that we are the only homecare agency who adheres to this practice). 
• We drug test our employees.
• We offer benefits to our employees.
• Our Comfort Keepers have been with us an average of 38 months each.
• We are a Licensed Home Agency and we received no deficiencies during our last 3 day survey.
• All services are supervised by our Registered Nurse.
• We are bonded and insured.

We take an interactive approach to caregiving. Inter often refers to the experience between two people such as the word interpersonal. Active obviously refers to the motions or doings of the body. So when we put the word interactive together what we really mean is the experience between the caregiver and the senior occurs while they are doing an activity together. If we add caregiving or the assistance or support during an activity we have interactive caregiving or the experience that happens between two people while doing an activity whereby one is assisting the other.

In practical terms what does this mean? It means that individuals offering caregiving services should try at every turn to engage their senior in the activity he or she is doing at whatever level of functioning the senior can participate. This can be small things like when doing the laundry you let a senior fold a towel or towels and you fold along with the person. If the person becomes tired, you can offer to take over.

To achieve the most favorable outcome for each Comfort Keepers client, we carefully match Comfort Keepers and clients whose personalities and interests—as well as skills and needs—mesh well.  This forms the basis of strong, healthful relationships.

Comfort Keepers work as trusted partners with family caregivers to provide their loved ones a complete in-home care solution to promote independent living.
