Incomparable In-Home Care

In-home senior care provided by Comfort Keepers stands out from the rest in these significant ways:

• Our Caregivers Care from the Heart. We call our caregivers Comfort Keepers. To them, caregiving isn’t a job. Instead, it’s their calling. They care from the heart and serve clients with the loving attention they would give a family member of their own. That’s why a growing number of families—including those who live hundreds of miles away— trust Comfort Keepers to faithfully provide their loved ones exceptional, devoted home care.
  
  Comfort Keepers have a servant’s heart. We’ve developed a rigorous screening process to find caregivers who live and work by this attitude. To become a Comfort Keeper, candidates must pass criminal background, motor vehicle record, and personal and business reference checks.
  
  They also complete thorough interviews and testing. And before they begin caring for clients, they complete extensive orientation, training, and professional development.  To further enhance their skills, Comfort Keepers complete continuing education and training every year. Comfort Keepers are the best trained caregivers available.
   
• Interactive Caregiving^®.   Through Interactive Caregiving^®, Comfort Keepers actively involve clients in their own caregiving. Because Comfort Keepers clients are not passive recipients of care, they maintain a stronger sense of control over their lives. They maintain more independence and physical and mental well-being.
  
  To reinforce these benefits, Comfort Keepers also provide their clients opportunities to participate in activities, based on their interests and capabilities, such as taking walks, solving puzzles, playing games, reminiscing, engaging in hobbies, visiting friends, and going places, such as church, cultural events, shopping or a senior center.
  
  Comfort Keepers developed Interactive Caregiving^®, based on extensive research that has proved how continued activity and engagement improves the physical, mental and emotional health of seniors.
   
• Good Matches = Good Caregiving. The effectiveness of Comfort Keepers senior care is enhanced by the great care we take in matching each client with the most appropriate Comfort Keeper. We base matches on personalities, interests, care needs of the client and special skills of the caregiver. 

Comfort Keepers Services

Comfort Keepers of Charleston offers the following services to promote the quality of life and independence of seniors and other adults:

Partnering for a Complete Solution

We offer a complete home care solution for clients and their families, thanks to our own services and partnerships we have developed with other senior and health care providers, which include nursing homes, assisted living facilities, home health care agencies and hospice care.

In addition to seniors, Comfort Keepers cares for other adults who need help around the home: new moms, individuals recovering from surgery, accidents or an extended illness, and others with specific in-home care needs.

Our goal is simple: to allow individuals to enjoy the highest possible quality of life in the comfort of home.

Partnering with Families

Comfort Keepers allows families to be as involved in their loved one’s care as they desire or are able, considering their work, family and other responsibilities. No matter a family’s level of involvement, we keep families fully informed about their loved one’s care and status.

Respite care is a very helpful service we provide to families who play an active role in caregiving for their loved one. To allow family caregivers to go to their jobs, get some needed rest, take a vacation or tend to other responsibilities, we schedule Comfort Keepers to provide in-home care. Respite care, such as this, provides family caregivers peace of mind that their loved one is being safely cared for while they are away.

We staff our phones around the clock to respond immediately, whether you need in-home care service, have a question about our services or want to schedule a free in-home assessment.
