What is In Home Care?

In home senior care is a great way to help your loved one age in place. The caregivers at Comfort Keepers can assist with basic needs such as bathing, grooming, and dressing, as well as providing medication reminders, light housekeeping, and meal preparation. We also offer specialized services in Bedford like dementia care and post-hospitalization care.

No matter what level of assistance your loved one needs, Comfort Keepers can provide it in the comfort of their own home in Bedford. We understand that each person is unique, so we work closely with our clients and their families to create a personalized care plan that meets their specific needs.

Your aging loved ones can benefit from the companionship and assistance provided by our personal home care services. We specialize in providing non-medical comfort and support for seniors, with services tailored to meet their needs and preferences. Unlike home health care services, which require a doctor’s prescription, our services can be provided for a few hours a day up to around-the-clock care. This gives you the ability to provide your loved ones with the care they need and deserve, while still maintaining your own independent lifestyle.

Our personal care services include:

• Bathing and Hygiene - Comfort Keepers® 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. Our Comfort Keepers are trained to lessen any embarrassment or discomfort.
• Fall Prevention and Mobility Assistance - Mobility assistance helps seniors maintain as active a lifestyle as possible when considering their ages, abilities, and overall health. 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 can also accompany the client on a short walk, and provide encouragement and reminders to complete prescribed exercises. 
• Transferring and Positioning - Comfort Keepers 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 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.
• Senior Nutrition & Meal Prep - Some clients need help feeding themselves, and the loss of independent eating can be hard to accept. Our Comfort Keepers understand this and are particularly sensitive, making the extra effort that can turn mealtime into a more enjoyable social time. In addition, Comfort Keepers 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.
