Your Local Comfort Keepers Owners
Scott Register has twenty-five pus years of operations experience in manufacturing. Lisa Register has fifteen plus years in sales in the transportation industry. But our past work experience is not what drives our passion in this industry. Our real life knowledge of caring for parents with Alzheimer’s and cancer prepared us for this job. My mother passed away in 2003 from a long battle with Alzheimer’s and Lisa’s parents and sister died in 2003 from cancer. With the true life experiences of caring for our parents along with the challenges of raising our own family, we have learned the special necessities it takes to care for our seniors.
Our “Comfort Keepers”
Caregivers at Comfort Keepers are known as “Comfort Keepers”. Our “Comfort Keepers” are our employees. By making our “Comfort Keepers” our employees we are able to carefully select and train our at home care providers. Indeed, we hire less than 7% of applicants that apply. We do an extensive criminal background check that uses live investigations at court houses verses internet checks. Driving records are checked for safe driving records to ensure the safety of our clients. Our Comfort Keepers location is a Drugs Don’t Work employer and drug test are required on all new employees and at various times during employment. (DDW Emblem)
“Comfort Keepers” go through an intense orientation and training program. This training ensures that the most up to date in home care for seniors is provided. Upon completion of the initial training period our caregivers are trained in the most critical aspect of care – Interactive Care. Interactive Care Giving is what sets Comfort Keepers apart from other in home care services. Interactive Care is a critical part of care, because we recognize that an environment that engages a person mentally, physically and emotional contributes to their overall well being. By teaching our senior care providers to “do with” instead of “doing for” we put into action our Interactive Care way of life. (www.interactivecaregiving.com)
We hold our caregivers to the highest professional standards of home healthcare, but that is not enough to make them “Comfort Keepers”. We look for the “glowing eyes, loving smile and youthful enthusiasm”. Our “Comfort Keepers” are caregivers that we would have placed with our own parents.
