In-Home Care for the Greater Portland Area

- Companionship

Compassionate Comfort Keepers®
One of the main differences between Comfort Keepers and other in-home care agencies is the people who serve as specially-trained caregivers, or “Comfort Keepers.”
To become a Comfort Keeper, applicants must undergo a stringent screening process. After an initial phone interview and completing the application, there is an in-depth personal interview and personality test, followed by a comprehensive series of background checks, including credit, criminal, and reference checks, so that you and your loved one can have absolute trust in the person who is providing the care. Although many applicants do not meet the unusually high standards, those who do join the Comfort Keepers team go through extensive preparation. Training consists of company policy and procedure as well as professional presentation, communication, understanding dementia, ADL (Activities of Daily Living – feeding, dressing, toileting, diapering, bathing and assistance with transfers) and dietary requirements for seniors. Depending on the individual, the training also focuses on aspects of care that many in-home agencies do not address, such as body mechanics, hospice care, and Alzheimer’s and dementia care.
But what truly makes our Comfort Keepers special is their depth of warmth and compassion. In addition to the practical competence that is necessary to do the job, each employee must pass a “lovability test.” Before an individual is allowed to come into your home, the simple question is asked: “Is this somebody I would want in my own mother’s home?” Only when a gentle and kind spirit is sensed, when the answer is an unequivocal “yes,” do they become an official Comfort Keeper.
If you or a loved one is in need of the type of senior care Comfort Keepers provides, you will experience first-hand the warmth and compassion of a Comfort Keeper in your home. Many clients speak of their caregivers not just as workers or employees, but as companions, even friends, like having an additional family member in the home. It is this combination of practical competence with a tender, loving heart for seniors that makes Comfort Keepers’ caregivers truly unique—it’s why we call ourselves “Comfort Keepers.”
