Others require significantly more care, up to and even including 24-hour care and supervision.
Scarborough Senior Care
Comfort Keepers provides individually tailored in-home care for seniors in Scarborough and the surrounding areas of Falmouth, Portland, South Portland, Cape Elizabeth, Saco, Biddeford, Kennebunk, and Wells. From light housekeeping and laundry to local transportation, meal preparation, and medication management support, Comfort Keepers caregivers ensure seniors live a healthy lifestyle in the comfort and convenience of their own home. For seniors who require slightly more care and assistance, personal care (eating, toileting, bathing, grooming, dressing) is available.
