Meal Preparation
Many seniors do not have the ability to shop for groceries and fix a well-balanced meal. Comfort Keepers can prepare hot, delicious, nutritious meals based on their clients’ preferences to help them get the proper nutrition they need. Clients may help with meal preparation as their abilities permit.

These tasks include vacuuming, dusting, sweeping and mopping floors, and cleaning bathrooms and kitchens.
