Home Care in Beachwood, Ohio
Comfort Keepers® of Beachwood, Ohio, provides seniors and other adults assistance with the activities of daily living, so they can continue to maintain a high quality of independence in the comfort of their own homes – where they most want to be. Comfort Keepers’ distinctive brand of in-home senior care actively involves clients in their own care—enhancing their level of independence and enriching their lives physically, mentally, socially and emotionally.
We customize care for each client, providing as little as a few hours of care a week to full-time care—whatever is needed to enable the client to live safely, happily and independently at home. Our compassionate caregivers—Comfort Keepers—work alongside our clients’ families, helping them provide for their loved ones’ care and giving them the assurance that their loved one is in good hands when they can’t be present.
The Comfort Keepers Difference
There are many providers of home-based senior care. But none provide care that matches the quality of Comfort Keepers. Here are examples of how we stand above the rest:
- Comfort Keepers is one of only three in-home elder care providers that are endorsed by Cleveland Clinic’s Senior Healthwise Connection
- Our franchise has been approved by Ohio's PASSPORT program, which provides home care services to Medicaid-eligible seniors
- While we specialize in non-medical home care, we have registered nurses on staff who develop care plans for our clients
- We are always ready to take your call for help. Even if you call our office in the middle of the night, you will speak with one of our staff members. You will never to be forwarded to an answering service.
Two very significant differences you will find are the quality of our caregivers and the distinctive style and effectiveness of the care they provide.
Genuine Caregiving
Comfort Keepers caregivers are the best in the business. That is because we hire only people who have a genuine desire to serve seniors. Through our thorough screening process we narrow the field of candidates to those who demonstrate a gift for caregiving. The people we are looking for consider caregiving their calling, and not a job.
The screening process starts with a phone interview. Then we call the best to come in for an in-person interview. The screening process also includes fingerprinting and background checks. And as a drug-free workplace, we have our caregivers undergo random drug screenings.
Before they care for their first client, Comfort Keepers complete orientation and training. They also take an extensive take-home test and complete a one-hour competency review with a registered nurse.
To build and maintain their skills, they complete quarterly training and testing, directed by a registered nurse, in such areas as Alzheimer’s care and safe lifting techniques.
Our Special Brand of Caregiving: Interactive Caregiving™
Our special brand of senior care—Interactive Caregiving™--has been developed based on research that demonstrates that seniors who keep actively engaged in life—mentally, physically and emotionally—enjoy longer, happier, healthier and more independent lives. Our Comfort Keepers involve seniors in their own care, as much as they are able. Comfort Keepers also provide seniors numerous opportunities to stay active, including physical exercise, such as dancing and walking; mental activity, such as solving puzzles, continuing hobbies, and playing games; and social activities, such as visiting friends and going to senior centers, church, museums and other favorite places and events.
Research shows that the kind of activity promoted by Interactive Caregiving enhances seniors’ outlook, sense of purpose and control over their lives. As a result, they are better able to avoid depression and live healthier, more independent lives.
