See how we might be a good fit for you or your aging loved ones by reviewing our complete list of services below.

In-Home Companionship and Care Services

Grooming & Hygiene Guidance

Our objective at Comfort Keepers is to help our customers with their personal care routines so that they can look and feel their best both inside and outside the home. Regular hygiene and grooming has indisputable benefits for seniors' self-esteem and emotional wellbeing, according to studies. We can assist clients who are afraid of falling while showering or who have physical restrictions that make bathing difficult. Shampooing, shaving (with an electric shaver), hair combing and styling, and other grooming services are available.

Mobility Assistance

Falling can lead to grave physical and emotional consequences for seniors. Our caregivers greatly reduce this risk by providing mobile assistance inside the home and out. Whether your loved one would benefit from a steadying arm or more hands-on involvement, our team members are expertly trained to help!

Transferring and Positioning

One of our top priorities is helping our clients move around their homes. This may include getting in and out of bed, chairs, and wheelchairs. Proper transferring and positioning can contribute to reducing bedsore risks. This also helps reduce muscle atrophy, while encouraging proper breathing and digestion. It can also lower the risk of falls and injuries, as well as keep our clients as comfortable as possible.

Toileting and Incontinence Care

We understand the sensitive nature of toileting and incontinence care for our clients. Without proper help, seniors can face many issues. These may include skin infections, unpleasant odors, and general hygiene problems. Our caregivers offer compassionate, dignified help with these personal aspects of daily living.

Nutrition & Meal Prep

Maintaining a nutritious diet impacts overall wellbeing, as well as decreases the likelihood of many common health conditions like heart disease and diabetes. ⁷ For these reasons, many of our seniors have prescribed meal plans to which they must adhere for health reasons.⁸ Whether you seek help following a special diet or just want companionship in the kitchen, our caregivers can provide the food prep necessary for wholesome at-home meals. Our clients are welcomed to work alongside the caregiver to nurture conversation and a sense of accomplishment.

Caregivers join seniors for mealtime, taking advantage of the relaxed environment to forge natural friendships. The result? Eating will be both healthy and enjoyable.

Conversation and Companionship

Studies prove that seniors who stay socially engaged enjoy improved quality of life compared to their solitary counterparts. They also have a lower tendency to develop depression and general cognitive decline. As part of our home care for seniors services, our caregivers provide seniors with conversation, mealtime companionship, and camaraderie during their favorite activities, all from the comfort of home. Our clients’ happiness is our ultimate goal!

Laundry

Our caregivers can take care of all laundry needs, either in the home or at a nearby laundromat. These services may include washing, drying, ironing, and putting clean laundry away.

Light Housekeeping

Our caregivers are available to provide light housekeeping. Our services include vacuuming, dusting, sweeping, mopping, cleaning bathrooms (sinks, tubs, showers, and toilets), cleaning kitchens (sinks, appliances, counters, and taking out the trash), straightening all rooms, organizing closets and drawers, and cleaning any interior windows reachable without a ladder.

Grocery Shopping/Errands

Getting around can be difficult for seniors, especially if they are unable to drive. Our caregivers take care of this problem by running around for you. This can include grocery shopping and other errands in downtown Cartersville, such as stopping at the pharmacy or post office. Your loved ones are welcome to stay home or come along for the ride as a way to stay active.

Transportation

Being out and about benefits a senior’s mind, body, and spirit. It's an integral part of Comfort Keepers’ Interactive Caregiving. For older adults unable to drive, our caregivers provide transportation incidental to other services, such as medical appointments, barbershops, beauty salons, and shopping. Just about anywhere your senior wants to go, our caregivers can help them get there.

Medication Reminders

Although our caregivers cannot administer medications, they can assist in ensuring that clients take their medication as prescribed. Our caregivers can help with opening medication containers, reading labels, and reminding the client when it is time for the next dose.

Comfort Keepers®: Custom Care Plan

Our caregivers work closely with families to provide compassionate home care for seniors. This allows them to remain in their homes for as long as possible. It also ensures they are well taken care of, from grooming to household chores. Having our caregivers in your home is an excellent way to balance the wants and needs of aging seniors.
