About Our Senior Care
Lezlie Snoozy-Kaitfors, owner of the Black Hills Comfort Keepers® franchise, has been dedicated to serving seniors since her teen years. While in high school and college she worked at nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
Through experience with her own family she developed empathy for the needs of older adults—particularly in the case of her paternal grandmother. Lezlie saw that she declined in health more rapidly after moving from her home.
This experience reinforced her commitment to helping seniors stay in their home for as long as possible.
When looking for a new opportunity in senior care, Lezlie found Comfort Keepers and chose it over other alternatives because of Comfort Keepers’:
- Emphasis on providing seniors “the highest quality of life”
- Philosophy of hiring people who are naturally gifted in serving seniors—and treating these caregivers with the greatest of respect
Lezlie has owned and operated the franchise since 2003. She treasures the role that she and her staff play in enhancing the lives of seniors and their families. “I’m very proud of how much our staff really does care.”
