Having earned a reputation in the community for always following through with quality in-home care, the Santa Clarita Comfort Keepers franchise receives many word-of-mouth referrals from a wide range of senior service providers. And we stand apart from other in-home care providers for Comfort Keepers’ unique approach to in-home care, called Interactive Caregiving™. We involve our clients in their home care and offer them a mix of physical activity, mental stimulation, emotional support and social engagement that promotes their independence and quality of life.
In addition to providing homemaking and personal care services, our Comfort Keepers®—the name we give the special people who deliver Comfort Keepers’ special brand of caregiving—take walks with clients, work on puzzles with clients, engage in conversation, take clients to church or social events, all types of activities that are important to them and enrich their lives. Numerous studies support the concept that this type of caregiving promotes the health and well-being of seniors.
Our Philosophy
Interactive Caregiving™ is based on four primary pillars, which Comfort Keepers leverage to care for, engage, and interact with our clients:
- An active senior mind promotes independence, better mental and physical health, happiness, and a longer life.
- A physically active senior maintains strength and independence, lessening or delaying the effects of aging.
- A well-nourished senior is more energetic, both physically and mentally.
- A safe senior lives in an environment that reduces the likelihood of accidents and promotes timely response when illness or accidents occur.
With our Interactive Caregiving approach, we are able to raise seniors’ quality of life to a much higher level than typical in-home care providers.
