A Special Kind of In-Home Care

Nowhere else will you find in-home elder care of the quality and effectiveness of Comfort Keepers. Here are a few important reasons why:

• Caregiving from the Heart. Our senior caregivers—Comfort Keepers—truly care for seniors. They find personal reward in helping seniors maintain as independent a lifestyle as possible in the comfort of their own homes. They care from the heart and consider senior caregiving their life’s calling—not just their job.
  
  We have developed a rigorous recruiting and screening process to find individuals who possess these natural given qualities. The screening process includes criminal background, motor vehicle record, and personal and business reference checks. Candidates also undergo extensive interviews and testing.
  
  And once hired, Comfort Keepers complete in-depth training in Comfort Keepers’ unique brand of elder care and senior caregiving skills. Before they begin caring for clients they complete orientation, training and professional development.  In addition, every year Comfort Keepers complete continuing education and training to further broaden and strengthen their skills.
  
  Consequently, Comfort Keepers are the best trained, most qualified caregivers you’ll find anywhere. It’s easy to see why a growing number of families—even those who live far from their loved ones—rely without reservation on the skilled, compassionate home care of Comfort Keepers.
   
• Interactive Caregiving^®. Comfort Keepers’ special brand of in-home elder care, Interactive Caregiving^® keeps seniors actively engaged in their own care. This approach enhances clients’ independence and feeling of control over their lives.
  
  Comfort Keepers further enhance their clients’ well-being and independence by regularly involving them in activities that keep them physically, mentally and socially engaged in life. Planned according to each client’s interests and abilities, these activities may include dancing or walks, stimulating conversation and reminiscing, solving puzzles, continued involvement with hobbies, playing  games, and social activities, such as visiting friends, attending cultural events, and going places, such as shopping, church, or a senior center.
  
  Research clearly supports Interactive Caregiving^®, which is built on the knowledge that seniors who stay active  and engaged experience better physical, mental and emotional health.
   
• Caregiver-Client Matches. We further ensure the effectiveness of Comfort Keepers' care by carefully matching each client with a caregiver, based on their personalities, interests, specific care needs and special skills.

A Partnership with Families Through High-Quality Senior Care

At Comfort Keepers, we leave it up to each family how involved they wish to be in their loved one’s day-to-day care. We realize that in many cases families live far apart, so Comfort Keepers is prepared to take a greater role in caregiving and to keep family members updated on their loved one’s care and status. We offer families peace of mind.

For families who play a more active role in their loved one’s care, we offer respite care. Through respite care, we schedule Comfort Keepers as needed to allow family caregivers time to rest up from their caregiving responsibilities, to go to work or take care of other matters. We offer respite care in Marietta, Ohio, and Charleston and Parkersburg, West Virginia and the surrounding areas.
