About Comfort Keepers of the East Mountains &

Valencia County^®

Welcome! I’m Linda Schaffer, Owner of the local Comfort Keepers office serving the East Mountains, Southeast Heights of Albuquerque and Valencia County. My sister, Julie Yenor is General Manager. As Certified Senior Advisors, we understand the unique needs of seniors and their strong desire to remain independent in their own homes. We share a special passion for the care of others having experienced first-hand the loss of independence due to medical conditions and debilitating chronic illness in our family.

Comfort Keepers is widely recognized as a leading provider of quality in-home care to seniors and other clients who need help with the activities of daily living. Our goal is to enrich the lives of our clients as we enable them to maintain the highest possible level of independent living in their own home for as long as possible.

A thorough in home assessment is conducted to develop a customized care plan. The special people who deliver our unique brand of in-home care, who we call Comfort Keepers, are carefully selected and pass an 11 point screening process including the National Criminal Database Search. Each Comfort Keeper receives a minimum of 40+ hours of training. We believe continuous training is extremely important to deliver the highest level of compassionate and professional care.

Now with more than 610 franchised offices in the United States, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, Comfort Keepers has been named by INC. Magazine as one of the fastest growing franchise systems in the U.S. We were rated a "World Class Franchise" by the Franchise Research Institute in May 2009 and were listed in the "Top 200" list by Franchise Times in Oct 2009.
