Dana Durst

Director of Operations

Dana’s education, work background, and family life have all played a role in guiding her toward Comfort Keepers. Dana graduated from Michigan State University after studying speech therapy, and then went on to post-graduate work at the University of Hawaii. In her early years after college, Dana was employed as an assistant director and lead teacher at Gretchen’s House Child Care Centers in Ann Arbor, MI. When Dana’s first child was born in 2001, she was able to focus strength and attention on her family. Dana is a mom of four; Tyler, Jessica, Brandon, and Courtney. From the time her children entered preschool, Dana has been a district volunteer in a variety of areas. Most recently, Dana holds a trustee position serving on the Chelsea School Board of Education. Her passion to care for others extends beyond her family and youth to individuals of all ages. As family members and friends have started to seek care for loved ones, Dana found that this can feel like a challenging and sometimes daunting experience. Through Comfort Keepers,  it is her hope that individuals and families feel comforted and supported during all aspects of care by working as a team during challenges and celebrations. The relationships we make with our Comfort Keepers and the loved ones and families that we care for are the best part of the job!

Jordan Stirling

Client Care Coordinator

Jordan has always had a passion for helping people and knew from a young age that she wanted to pursue a career where she could make a difference in the lives of others. She grew up in Ann Arbor. After high school, she went on to complete her bachelor’s degree in public health education from Central Michigan University. During her time in school, Jordan worked in multiple assisted living homes as a caregiver. She gained a lot of hands-on experience that she hopes to pass on to our caregivers going forward with Comfort Keepers. Following college, she moved to Chicago for a short time to experience life in a big city. She is now back in her home state of Michigan and is eager to use what she has learned both in the field and in school to provide loved ones and their families with the best possible Comfort Keepers experience!
