Care for oneself or one's loved ones is a significant transformation. Comfort Keepers® simplifies everything. We provide step-by-step guidance so that you and your loved one can talk about expectations, plan for the future, and feel confident about your care selections.

We provide individualized home care services to take care of the whole person. The welfare of the persons in our care is promoted by our all-encompassing approach. Your Comfort Keeper will interact with your loved one by helping them instead of doing things for them. Every Comfort Keeper aspires to Elevate the Human Spirit and bring joy into the lives of our clients on a daily basis.

Here is what to anticipate from the moment you call until your Comfort Keeper makes their first visit:

What occurs during our initial call?

Your care coordinator will ask you and your loved one about the kind of care and living arrangement you would prefer during this conversation. They will help you through these initial steps even if you are unsure of what to do next.

We want everyone to feel at ease, so now is a perfect time to inquire about what to anticipate. After responding to all of your preliminary inquiries, we arrange a Care Consultation, which may be conducted through phone, video, or in-person.

What happens during the Care Consultation?

According to Comfort Keepers, seniors can carry on enjoying their favorite activities with the help of in-home care. Our care coordinators take the time to get to know you and your loved one's needs.

The friendly, casual conversation will focus on how they manage their daily lives and any areas where they might need assistance, whether with companionship, personal care, or diet. In order to link elders with caregivers, your care coordinator will enquire about preferences, interests, and care requirements. Our sympathetic Comfort Keepers provide our clients with the protection and assurance they need to live at home.

Your Care Coordinator will evaluate the house at this stage and suggest safety upgrades.

What exactly is a plan of care and how do we create one?

The physical, emotional, and social needs of our clients are taken into account when providing in-home care. A care plan is created for each of the clients we serve, and carers are matched with them based on their preferences, hobbies, personalities, abilities, and restrictions.

The Plan of Care can include activities that cheer people up, make them happy, or enhance their quality of life.

Nutrition and meals
Washing and basic housework
Medication alerts
Personal hygiene reminders and assistance
Mental health companionship
Using a personal computer or a phone
Transportation to and from meals, errands, appointments, and groceries
Senior mobility assistance
Dementia treatment
+and more.

Our services put a strong emphasis on physical needs and general wellbeing so that anybody who need care, regardless of age or level of care, can live their best life. Since we are aware that the type of care required will change over time, we are constantly prepared to update the Plan of Care.

What time will your Comfort Keeper arrive?

To introduce your Comfort Keeper and go over the first visit, your Care Coordinator will contact you. Family members can meet the Comfort Keeper for their loved one at the initial visit.

After introductions and a discussion of the plan of care, everyone can unwind and get to know one another. This is essential to helping your loved one and their Comfort Keeper establish a relationship.

What should I anticipate from the initial Comfort Keeper visit?

Many people are concerned about what the caregiver will achieve each day or what to anticipate during their first visit. Because they are unsure of what to expect, seniors are reluctant to ask for assistance. Everyone feels at rest as they get to know their Comfort Keeper thanks to the Plan of Care.

Our Comfort Keepers offer interactive caregiving, which involves them doing things with your loved one rather than for them. The development of new pastimes and genuine friendships keeps seniors engaged and gives them meaning. In order to keep family members informed and at ease, your Comfort Keeper can publish pictures and messages to the family portal website.

What occurs following the initial visit?

Your Care Coordinator will visit again following the initial visit from your Comfort Keeper. They will ask how everything went, how your family and the Comfort Keeper got along, and whether any immediate adjustments are required to make future visits better.

It's important. Everyone may honestly evaluate the Plan of Care and pose inquiries now that they have seen their Comfort Keeper.

Communication with our clients and family comes first. You are always welcome to talk about any questions or concerns.

What occurs throughout a care review?

With time, our clients' needs for in-home care change. The care plan will be reviewed by your Care Coordinator every three to six months, or sooner if circumstances change. Your Comfort Keeper will be very important. They keep an eye out for acuity changes that would call for modifying therapy. Together, we make sure that you or a senior loved one gets high-quality care, maintains their freedom, and, most importantly, keeps enjoying life.
