For many seniors and their families in West Hartford, in-home care offers a compassionate solution that provides support while preserving independence and dignity. But what exactly does in-home senior care include?
Comfort Keepers provides in-home care in West Hartford, CT we tailor our services to meet the unique needs of every individual and family we serve. From help with daily routines to more specialized care, our goal is to ensure safety, comfort, and a higher quality of life at home.

These services assist seniors with the tasks of everyday living, helping them maintain their hygiene, mobility, and self-esteem. Personal care may include:
Bathing and grooming assistance
Dressing and toileting help
Mobility support and transferring
Incontinence care
Medication reminders
These are sensitive tasks that can often feel overwhelming for loved ones to manage independently. Our trained caregivers provide this support respectfully and attentively, helping seniors feel safe and cared for.
2. Companion Care and Emotional Support
Loneliness and isolation can have a profound impact on seniors, both emotionally and physically. Companion care provides more than just company—it offers a meaningful connection. Our caregivers engage clients through conversation, shared meals, hobbies, light exercise, and joyful moments that brighten the day.
Companionship also includes:
Meal preparation and planning
Light housekeeping and laundry
Transportation to appointments or errands
Assistance with technology to stay connected with loved ones
This type of support helps seniors remain active and engaged, which in turn contributes to their overall well-being.

For seniors living with memory loss, a calm and structured environment is essential. Our caregivers are specially trained to provide memory care that supports cognitive health and promotes a sense of routine and safety.
Comfort Keepers provides:
Gentle reminders and redirection
Help to establish daily routines
Activities to stimulate memory and cognition
A consistent presence that helps reduce confusion and anxiety
Memory care at home enables individuals living with memory loss to remain in familiar surroundings, often one of the most effective ways to preserve comfort and reduce stress.
4. Post-Hospital Recovery Support
Returning home from a hospital stay can be both a relief and a challenge. The first two weeks after discharge are especially critical for seniors. During this time, complications and readmission risks are at their highest.

Medication reminders
Monitoring for any signs of health changes
