Personal Care Services

Bathing, Grooming, and Hygiene

Comfort Keepers of State College, Altoona & Clearfield, PA can help seniors feel positive about their appearance through bathing, grooming, and hygiene assistance. Bathing not only cleanses the skin but goes deeper to refresh the spirit, provide relaxation, and stimulate circulation.

Mobility Assistance

Mobility assistance helps seniors maintain an active lifestyle. There are many physical health benefits of keeping the senior mobile, including lowering blood pressure, improving digestion and sleep, increasing energy and stamina, and strengthening the heart. Comfort Keepers caregivers can also accompany the client on a short walk and provide encouragement and reminders to complete prescribed exercises. 

Transferring and Positioning

Comfort Keepers caregivers are trained to move and place clients in correct posture positions to promote health and safety. Proper transferring and positioning from or into beds and chairs eliminates pressure areas on the skin, reduces weakening and stiffening of muscles, and encourages proper breathing, digestion, and elimination. 

Toileting and Incontinence Care

Our Comfort Keepers caregivers work to maintain the dignity and self-esteem of seniors and other adult clients as they assist with daily living activities. Through this caring approach, Comfort Keepers help lessen the embarrassment clients may feel associated with incontinence and need for toileting assistance.

Feeding and Special Diet

Some clients need help feeding themselves, and the loss of independent eating can be hard to accept. Our caregivers understand this and are particularly sensitive, making the extra effort that can turn mealtime into a more enjoyable social time. In addition, caregivers will help ensure that their clients stay on prescribed diets to prevent or control a wide variety of medical conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes. 

In-Home Care and Companionship

Conversation and Companionship

Our caregivers provide clients companionship in home care services, for instance through conversation or when they sit down to share a meal. Social contact such as this is proven to enhance seniors’ health, happiness, and quality of life.

Meal Preparation

Many seniors do not have the ability to shop for groceries and fix a well-balanced meal. Our caregivers 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.

Laundry

Our caregivers will tend to the laundry either at their clients’ homes or a laundry facility, and will wash, dry, fold, iron, and put clothing away. We work to ensure that each client’s laundry is done according to his or her preferences. 

Light Housekeeping

Our light housekeeping in home care services cover most domestic tasks. Often seniors are able and want to join their caregivers in housework, which can help them feel useful and needed. These tasks include vacuuming, dusting, sweeping and mopping floors, and cleaning bathrooms and kitchens.

Grocery Shopping/Errands

Comfort Keepers will shop for groceries at the stores their clients prefer and run errands such as picking up prescriptions or going to the post office. Clients may choose to stay home or come along and help with the shopping and errands as an excellent way to stay active and engaged. 

Incidental Transportation

Our Comfort Keepers can provide incidental transportation for clients, allowing them the freedom to go shopping and attend other activities or get to medical appointments, the barbershop or beauty salon, and other places the senior chooses.  Getting a senior out and about is good for the senior’s mind, body, and spirit.

Medication Reminders

Although Comfort Keepers cannot administer medications, they can help ensure that clients take their own medications as prescribed. Our Comfort Keepers can assist with opening medication containers, reading labels, and reminding their clients when it is time to take a dose. 

24-Hour In-Home Care Services

Depending on the client’s needs, Comfort Keepers can provide at home care services for just a few hours a week or provide full-time in-home care.  Through our 24-hour at home care services, a team of Comfort Keepers coordinates caregiving responsibilities in shifts.  This offers clients and their families’ full-time peace of mind.
