Comfort Keepers In-Home Care for Seniors in Brentwood, CA, and the Surrounding Areas

Comfort Keepers senior care takes the worry out of finding care for your senior in Brentwood, CA

As seniors start to slow down and have a more difficult time with self-care and caring for their homes, the question gets asked frequently as to whether or not the person in question really needs senior care or if they could get by with a housekeeper or other in-home help. There is a stigma attached to aging and home health care that many people are reluctant to let go of. Part of it is the worry about losing freedom, and part is the fear so many of us have surrounding aging and mortality. Before you decide what type of care is best for your senior, you should consider the value of at-home care provided by Comfort Keepers in Brentwood, CA.

Our Caregivers are Much More Than a Housekeeper

While many of our caregivers' tasks are related to cleaning, cooking, and laundry, senior care provides far more benefits than just a few chores. Caregivers are provided with extensive training that enables them to provide a wealth of services that your senior may not even know they need. A housekeeper can be the nicest person in the world, but they have not received the training that helps them identify seniors' specific needs or address them. They are there to provide a single service.

Safety Comfort Keepers caregivers are trained to look for safety hazards constantly. In fact, one of the first things we do is to survey your loved one's environment to identify any hazards that might cause problems for seniors. This means maintaining clear paths, placing heavy items in the kitchen within reach, and securing carpets and electrical cords properly. Injuries are a serious problem for seniors, and just this simple step can help keep your loved one healthier.

Caregivers Are Trained to Know If there is a Problem

Our caregivers may only have certain specific tasks, but they have the training to identify when your loved one may have needs that might not be being met. For instance, nutrition is essential to your loved one’s health, and our caregivers can help ensure that your loved one is getting healthy, well-balanced meals. Caregivers may also identify when their clients are not thriving, are losing weight, or have other significant changes in their health. These are problems that a housekeeper or other type of help you might bring in could potentially miss that senior care can ensure are addressed.

Comfort Keepers Understands the Importance of Engagement and Companionship

Being isolated and lonely is a common problem for seniors, and Comfort Keepers works hard to address this issue with senior care. Caregivers are specially trained to be tuned into their clients and engage them in every aspect of the caregiving process. By doing so, caregivers can engage their clients physically and mentally and help meet many of those needs. Click one of the buttons below or call (925) 233-6048 to learn more,
