What happens during the free in-home assessment?

Our free in-home assessment is the first step in getting to know your loved one and understanding how we can best support their comfort, safety, and happiness at home. During the visit, a care coordinator will meet with you and your loved one to discuss daily routines, health needs, personal preferences, and any concerns you may have. It’s a relaxed, no-pressure conversation where we listen closely and work together to create a personalized care plan that fits your family’s situation. It’s also a great opportunity to ask questions and get a feel for how Comfort Keepers can truly make a difference.

Can in-home care actually improve my loved one’s mood or mental health?

Yes, it absolutely can. We believe that emotional well-being is just as important as physical care. Many seniors face feelings of loneliness or isolation, but having a compassionate caregiver who offers meaningful companionship, conversation, and encouragement can help uplift spirits and create a renewed sense of purpose. Our caregivers focus on building genuine connections, engaging clients in favorite hobbies, and promoting joy in daily life, all of which play a key role in improving mood and mental health.

What kind of support do you offer for adult children managing care from a distance?

We understand how hard it can be to care for a loved one when you live far away. That’s why Comfort Keepers of Westport provides regular updates, clear communication, and peace of mind for long-distance family members. You’ll be kept informed every step of the way through check-ins, care notes, and ongoing access to our team. Whether it’s coordinating appointments, monitoring changes in health, or simply being a reliable presence, we serve as your eyes, ears, and heart on the ground, so you can feel confident that your loved one is in caring, capable hands.
