What makes Comfort Keepers different from hiring an independent home aide?

Choosing Comfort Keepers of Mountainside means choosing peace of mind. Unlike independent aides, our caregivers are carefully screened, insured, bonded, and professionally trained. We handle all aspects of employment—including scheduling, payroll, supervision, and backup coverage—so you don’t have to.

Most importantly, we take a team-based approach. Our care coordinators work closely with families and caregivers to ensure that care is consistent, compassionate, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. With Comfort Keepers, you’re not just hiring a caregiver—you’re gaining a trusted partner in care.

Can in-home care help delay or prevent the need for moving into a nursing home?

Yes, it can. Many seniors prefer to age in the comfort of their own home, and Comfort Keepers is here to make that possible. Our personalized in-home care services provide the right level of support, whether it’s help with daily routines, mobility, medication reminders, or companionship.

By addressing physical, emotional, and safety needs at home, our care can often delay or even prevent the need for nursing home placement, allowing your loved one to stay independent longer while enjoying familiar surroundings.

Are veteran clients eligible for VA Aid & Attendance benefits when using your services?

Yes, many veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid & Attendance benefits to help cover the cost of in-home care. Comfort Keepers is experienced in supporting veteran families through this process.

Our team can guide you through eligibility requirements and connect you with trusted resources to help you apply. We’re honored to serve those who have served and are proud to assist veteran clients in receiving the support they deserve.
