Our Approach to Care
At Comfort Keepers of Shrewsbury, our mission is to elevate the human spirit — and that starts with truly understanding your loved one. It begins with a no-cost consultation with our Registered Nurse, by phone or in person, to learn about your loved one’s situation and discuss how we can help. There’s no pressure and no obligation — just a conversation about what your family needs.
Once you choose Comfort Keepers, our RN conducts a comprehensive clinical assessment — covering physical health, cognitive function, mobility, medication needs, and a thorough home safety evaluation of fall risks, lighting, bathroom accessibility, and mobility paths. But our nurse also listens for something most agencies overlook: what brings your loved one joy. The hobbies, routines, and connections that make life worth living become part of the care plan, not an afterthought.
From there, your loved one receives ongoing clinical oversight that no other agency in Monmouth or Northern Ocean Counties matches:
- RN check-ins every 30 days to supervise caregiver performance and monitor your loved one’s well-being
- A completely new plan of care every 60 days — not just a review, but a fresh clinical assessment reflecting current needs
- RN accompaniment to doctor’s appointments — bringing daily care context into the medical conversation so nothing falls through the cracks
This level of clinical involvement means your loved one’s care evolves as their needs change — and your family always has a nurse who knows them personally. Whether you’re exploring companion care for a parent in Red Bank, live-in care in Middletown, or dementia care in Freehold, our RN-led approach ensures your loved one receives care that’s clinically sound and personally meaningful.
Call (732) 592-6700 for a no-cost consultation with our Registered Nurse — by phone or in person.

In-Home Care
Companionship Care: Companionship is at the heart of our in-home senior care services, providing seniors with a friendly face and a helping hand in their daily lives. Our caregivers engage clients in conversation, accompany them on outings, and participate in their favorite hobbies and activities. This not only promotes social interaction but also fosters emotional well-being.
Personal Care: Personal care is tailored to meet the unique needs of each client, ensuring they receive assistance with daily living activities while preserving their dignity and independence. Our caregivers help with bathing, grooming, toileting, and mobility, as well as meal preparation and medication reminders.
Respite Care: Respite care offers temporary relief for family caregivers, allowing them to take a well-deserved break from their caregiving duties. Our professional caregivers step in to provide quality care and companionship in their absence, giving family members peace of mind knowing their loved one is in good hands.
Veterans Home Care: For senior Veterans who have worked hard to serve our country, finding the right care can be challenging. That's why our team at Comfort Keepers offers Veterans home care in Monmouth and Northern Ocean Counties. We recognize that senior care for Veterans is an essential resource for many aging Vets who may have mental and physical disabilities. By providing customized care and support with our Veterans home care services, we can help give back to them by allowing those who have served this nation to live with dignity and independence while receiving the assistance they need.
Interactive Caregiving: At Comfort Keepers, we believe that the key to successful in-home care lies in Interactive Caregiving - a unique approach that goes beyond simply meeting physical needs. Our caregivers engage clients in activities that promote physical and mental well-being, such as gentle exercise, puzzles, and reminiscing about cherished memories. Interactive Caregiving fosters a sense of purpose and independence in our clients, empowering them to take an active role in their own care and live life to the fullest.
Specialized Care
24-Hour Care: Some seniors need continuous, 24/7 live-in care. Our around-the-clock home care plans ensure your loved one always has the companionship, supervision, and personal care they need—day and night. Our caregivers are especially equipped to support seniors who may wander, sleepwalk, or require constant monitoring, providing peace of mind and dependable care at all hours.
Alzheimer's & Dementia Care: Our dementia and Alzheimer's care focuses on creating a safe, comfortable environment for those living with cognitive decline. Our specially trained caregivers help maintain a secure home environment, assist with daily needs like meals and bathing, engage clients through sensory-stimulating activities, and support families as behaviors change.
End-of-Life Care: Our end-of-life care provides compassionate assistance to clients and their families during difficult times. With comfort and compassion, we expertly tend to the unique needs of every client.
Post-Hospital Care: Post-hospital home care is designed to support clients returning home after a hospital stay or surgery. Our caregivers assist with tasks such as medication organization, mobility, and meal preparation, ensuring a smooth transition back to their daily routine.
Private-Duty Nursing: Our caregivers are also qualified to administer in-home nursing care. Our private-duty nurses are available to seniors who have more extensive needs and would benefit from medical care in the comfort of their own homes.
Customized Care Plans: Every client is unique, which is why our care plans are tailored to meet their individual needs and preferences. We take the time to get to know each client and their family, ensuring we create a personalized care plan that addresses their specific requirements.
With flexible scheduling options and ongoing communication with families, our clients can rest assured knowing they'll receive the highest level of care and support from our dedicated team of caregivers.
Positive Pathways™
Alongside our in-home memory care services, many of our caregivers have recently completed advanced training through Positive Pathways™, Comfort Keepers’ specialized program designed to support seniors living with Alzheimer’s or dementia. This training helps caregivers better understand how memory changes affect daily life and what strategies can make routines feel more manageable and reassuring.
Through Positive Pathways™, caregivers learn techniques that encourage calm, reduce confusion, and create meaningful moments throughout the day. This includes approaches for redirecting difficult behaviors, offering gentle prompts that support independence, and using familiar cues to help seniors feel grounded in their environment. The program also emphasizes communication methods that promote dignity and help families maintain strong emotional connections as memory changes progress.
By adding this certification, our team is better prepared to guide seniors through challenging moments with patience, structure, and compassion, all while helping families feel more supported and informed.
Locally Owned. Community Focused.
Jim Winn purchased his first Comfort Keepers location in April 2013 alongside his wife, Anne Hamilton Winn, an Occupational Therapist. His decision was deeply personal, inspired by caring for his father during a battle with cancer that required around-the-clock support. When Jim acquired the agency from its previous owners, who had successfully served the community for 13 years, he recognized an opportunity to build on a strong foundation.
Since then, he has upheld the same high standard of care while continually enhancing the client experience. Jim finds the greatest fulfillment in meeting with clients, helping others, and making a meaningful difference in their lives.
