The Independent Living Services Provided by Comfort Keepers^®

Each Comfort Keepers client has unique care needs.  That is why we offer a full range of in-home services—to tailor care plans that provide our senior and other adult clients the right amount and types of help to support independent living at home. These services are provided by the special caregivers we call Comfort Keepers, to promote independent living to its fullest. Examples of our services include:

• In-Home Companionship and Care Services

  
  

• Specialized Care Services

In-Home Companionship and Care Services

Conversation and Companionship

Comfort Keepers are available to provide clients company and engage in conversation, or to sit down to share a meal together. Social contact such as this is proven to enhance the health, happiness and quality of life of seniors.

Meal Preparation

Comfort Keepers prepare hot, delicious, and nutritious meals, allowing clients to help with preparation according to their ability. Many seniors do not have the opportunity to eat a well-balanced meal, so this service helps seniors get the nutrition they need to enjoy healthier living.

Laundry

These services can be done in either the client’s home or the Laundromat, and include washing, drying, ironing and putting things away. Comfort Keepers involve clients to make sure laundry is done according to their preferences.

Light Housekeeping

Comfort Keepers light housekeeping services include vacuuming, dusting, sweeping and mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms (sinks, tubs, showers, and toilets), cleaning kitchens (sinks, appliances, counters, taking out trash), straightening all rooms, organizing closets and drawers, and cleaning any interior windows that can be reached without a ladder. Comfort Keepers does not provide outdoor cleaning or maintenance.

Grocery Shopping/Errands

Comfort Keepers shop for groceries at stores of their clients’ preference and run errands, such as picking up prescriptions or going to the post office. Clients may choose to stay home or help with the shopping and errands as an excellent way to stay active and engaged. Comfort Keepers will use any coupons provided.

Incidental Transportation

Comfort Keepers provides transportation incidental to other care services, such as taking clients to medical appointments, barbershops, beauty salons, shopping, or wherever else a client wants to go. Getting seniors out and about is good for their mind, body and spirit—and an integral part of Comfort Keepers’ Interactive Caregiving™.

Medication Reminders

Although Comfort Keepers cannot administer medications, they can help ensure that clients take their own medication as prescribed. Comfort Keepers can assist with opening medication containers, reading labels and reminding the client when it is time to take a dose.

To further assist clients in taking medications as prescribed, Comfort Keepers offers the SafetyChoice™ Medication Reminder System, an automated medication device that provides audible and visual reminders and dispenses medicine at the proper times and in the proper dosages.

Grooming Guidance

Comfort Keepers assist clients with washing and combing their hair and other grooming tasks to enable them to feel good about their appearance.

Live-In Services

Comfort Keepers tailors care to each client’s needs—from a few hours a week to full-time care. Through our live-in services we provide full-time caregiving by a Comfort Keeper who lives in the client's home to provide in-home care on a daily basis. The client and family may designate the types of non-medical in-home care services that are to be provided.

This service gives family members peace of mind, preventing gaps in coverage for individuals who may be at risk when unattended, such as those with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia-related conditions.

24-Hour Care

Depending on each client’s needs, Comfort Keepers can provide from just a few hours of service a week to full-time in-home care. Through our 24-hour care service, a team of Comfort Keepers coordinates caregiving responsibilities in shifts around the clock. This offers clients and their families full-time peace of mind.

Specific non-medical in-home care services can be tailored to meet each client’s specific needs. This type of continuous in-home care service is ideal for clients who are at risk when unattended, such as persons with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia-related conditions.

Respite Care or Relief for Family

Caregiving can be rewarding and often strengthens bonds within a family. At the same time, caregiving can be demanding amidst life's other responsibilities. 

Family caregivers and those in their care can benefit from a little time off now and then. That is why Comfort Keepers offers respite caregiving. This service can be scheduled as needed to provide family caregivers time to run errands, go shopping or get some much-needed rest.

Specialized Care Services*

Dementia Care

Comfort Keepers often care for clients challenged with varying degrees of dementia.
Some clients experience momentary lapses of memory or confusion. However, others, and their families, need assistance with challenges due to significant dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

Comfort Keepers dementia care is provided by Comfort Keepers who are skilled in communicating with and assisting persons with Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related conditions. They provide activities that help enhance the quality of life of persons with dementia, such as reminiscing, music and other activities that stimulate the senses.

To augment in-home care and provide a safe home environment, Comfort Keepers offers its own line of SafetyChoice™ devices, such as motion detectors, window and door contacts and floor mats that help monitor and protect persons with dementia who wander.

End-of-Life Care

Our compassionate Comfort Keepers come to the aid of individuals who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness. We help them and their families with emotional and moral support as well as helping out around the home and providing personal and companionship care—whatever is needed.

Comfort Keepers can support the family directly or work in partnership with a hospice agency or medical provider to fully meet the family’s needs.

Our ultimate goal is to help families make the most of their time together, helping to lighten the burden at a very difficult time. Through respite care, we give family caregivers needed rest.

And we can continue to help after a loved one’s passing. Our Comfort Keepers  help families deal with the grief and assist with tasks such as organizing personal items and moving belongings—or just being there to listen if family members need to talk.

Veterans Care Programs

Veterans or surviving spouses of veterans in need of in-home care may qualify for benefits through the Veterans Administration. Comfort Keepers is proud to serve those who have served our nation. We assist veterans and their spouses in the application process and provide in-home care services for approved participants in VA programs.
