Caring for Adults with Autism and Other Disabilities in Knoxville, TN

At Comfort Keepers, we believe everyone deserves compassionate, dignified, and empowering care, including those adults living with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). We aim to support independence, communication, and well-being while bringing comfort and joy to daily life.

Compassionate Adult Care

Every person is unique, and so is our care. We create personalized care plans tailored to the individual’s needs, preferences, and communication styles. Whether helping with routines, meals, hygiene, or community involvement, we always prioritize consistency, respect, and patience.

Specialized Training for Caregivers

Our caregivers receive ongoing training to understand better the needs of adults with autism and other disabilities. This includes:

• Sensory sensitivity awareness
• Positive behavior support techniques
• Communication strategies, including nonverbal methods
• Understanding routines and transitions

We aim to foster trusting, long-term relationships that provide emotional security and stability.

In-Home Support for a Familiar Environment

Home is often the most comforting environment, especially for adults with autism or other disabilities. We help in-home to:

• Reduce anxiety from unfamiliar settings
• Support daily structure and routines
• Encourage functional independence in a familiar space

Family & Community Partnership

We work closely with families, care teams, and community partners to ensure seamless support. We’re here to listen, collaborate, and adapt as needs change.
