About Our Home Care Services Team in New Jersey

Comfort Keepers of Nutley and Secaucus, New Jersey, is owned and operated by the three women of Women On a Mission, LLC. They know from personal experience the challenges families face in caring for loved ones as they get older and need help with the activities of daily living. They partner with families to address their concerns and help their loved ones maintain independence.

We offer families the option to be as involved in their loved one’s care as much or as little as they desire. And in all cases, we maintain excellent communication to keep families up-to-date on their loved one’s care and status. Whether your or loved ones live in Bloomfield, Kearney, North Arlington, or in any of the surrounding New Jersey communities, it's helpful to know that we regularly review each client’s care plan and work with the family and client to revise it as needed.

One special emphasis that our Comfort Keepers office has is on senior nutrition. Owner, Eydie Shapiro interjects her passion for food into the type of care that is provided, because she knows that many seniors who live on their own have trouble eating properly. As a result, their quality of life and heath declines. That’s why their Comfort Keepers pay special attention to making certain that in-home care clients eat nutritious meals—and they involve seniors in meal preparation as much as possible.

We’re Ready to Serve You 24/7

We’re available whenever you need us, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you have a question or concern or need a change in home care service, for whatever reason, call us. It is our pleasure—and purpose—to help you and your loved one in any way we can.

Our management team includes:

• Owner Eydie Shapiro, who also serves as Director of Sales. She spreads the word about our Comfort Keepers elder care services and builds partnerships with other senior care providers (such as home health agencies, assisted living facilities and nursing homes), creating a network to meet the complete needs of our clients and their families.
  
  Eydie has spent the majority of her career in the hospitality industry, working in hotel food and beverage departments as well as a sales and marketing executive. For the last 10 years, Eydie has been a senior hospitality sales and marketing advisor for one of the world’s premier hospitality consulting firms.
  
  In 2008 Eydie began volunteering and contributing even more ambitiously in her local community. After completing a 6-week training program and passing the State exams, she was appointed to a volunteer position at local nursing home. There she spent time with the women who needed extra attention, the type of emotional attention and individual caring that an intuitional setting cannot easily offer.
  
  Eydie’s experience there, as well as her personal experience supporting her husband’s aging parents and her own mom is what led her to pursue a profession in home health care and join the Comfort Keepers family.

• Owner, Kristina Munsch, who serves as Director of Finance leads all financial aspects of Comfort Keepers, such as budgeting, payroll, accounts payable and billing. As a caregiver for her ailing grandmother she soon realized the need for qualified caring help for the senior population and that personal success and growth needs to be mixed with service to your community.
  
  After graduating with high honors from Lehigh University in 2002 where she majored in Economics and Finance, Kristina honed her business skills by working for a Congresswoman, a research marketing firm and an investment company. From the most basic of jobs to the more senior positions, Kristina possesses the skills and drive to start and grow a successful business. 
  
  The first step in her plan was the creation of Women on a Mission, LLC, which has the goal of developing a wealth of businesses that will allow other women to achieve their own goals. Her other main focus is the development of this office, the Comfort Keepers of Secaucus, New Jersey, which is devoted to helping the growing needs of seniors.
  
  Kristina's expertise in economics, finance and accounting is a perfect mix for her responsibilities at Comfort Keepers. Additionally, Kristina's passion for creativity is incorporated in "WOM" & "CK" concepts throughout the business and website.

• Manager, Lorraine Williams, serves as manager and caregiver coordinator. She has an extensive background in the corporate world. As an assistant editor for Who's Who in America, The Directory of Corporate Affiliations and Red Books she learned early-on the importance of creating a bridge between social awareness and corporate structure.
  
  Lorraine has served as executive administrative assistant in the field of Human services for ten years. Her passion for enabling others with tools necessary to ensure quality of life and the success of our communities has always been at the forefront of her desires.
