Comfort Keepers Companion Care for Seniors in Boise, ID, and the surrounding areas
Uplifting care and friendship for your loved one from Comfort Keepers in Meridian, ID
At Comfort Keepers®, we understand the incredible effects of socialization and companionship on elderly mental health and well-being. Opportunities to engage with others and grow relationships with friends, family, neighbors, and community members can help improve symptoms of depression, ease feelings of senior isolation and loneliness, and even reduce the risk of dementia.
By spending time with our caregivers, your loved one has someone ready to help around the house or help prepare a meal, and they also have a friend who offers social connection and a companion who can help them get back to doing the things that bring them joy.

What is Senior Companion Care?
Senior companion care, or companionship, provides emotional support, friendship, and socialization. Common home companion care activities include:
- Conversation and mental stimulation, such as playing games or listening to music
- Meal prep and time spent together over breakfast, lunch, or dinner
- Light activity, such as a walk or time spent outside
- Laundry and light housekeeping
- Grocery shopping and errands
- Transportation to and from appointments and social events
- Reminders for personal home care and grooming
- Medication reminders
At Comfort Keepers, we focus on activities that bring joy, provide mental stimulation and encourage physical and emotional well-being. Our caregivers regularly communicate with a client’s loved ones to share progress, answer questions, and check in by providing companion care.
A Holistic Approach
Caring for the whole person is central to our Interactive Caregiving™ philosophy. It’s a holistic approach that cares for the mind, body, spirit, and well-being. Instead of just doing for your loved one, we use every moment to do tasks and activities with them to increase engagement and fulfillment. By focusing on Interactive Caregiving™, we can elevate the spirits of our clients and their families.
Our caregivers are trained and skilled in a broad range of long-term care services that support home companion care and senior mental health. This includes:
Nutrition and Meal Prep
- Our caregivers can assist with grocery shopping and meal preparation and support physician-prescribed nutrition and diet plans. Diet impacts overall well-being in a big way and decreases the likelihood of many common health conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Whether seeking help following a special diet or looking for companionship in the kitchen, our caregivers can assist with necessary at-home meals. Our goal is to make mealtime both healthy and enjoyable.
Conversation and Companionship
- Studies show that seniors who stay socially engaged enjoy an improved quality of life compared to their solitary counterparts. They also have a lower tendency to develop depression and general cognitive decline. Our caregivers provide seniors conversation, mealtime companionship, and camaraderie during their favorite activities. Completing tasks together helps clients and caregivers form lasting, meaningful relationships.
Laundry and Light Housekeeping
- Our caregivers can take care of all laundry needs in the home or at a nearby laundromat. These services can include washing, drying, ironing, and cleaning laundry. Light housekeeping 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 and Errands
- Comfort Keepers end-of-life care services can include grocery shopping, prescription pick-up, or other errands into the custom senior care plan to assist those who prefer not to or can’t leave their home.
Transportation
- We provide transportation services to help those who need assistance at home after a hospital stay or a ride to and from important appointments.
Medication Reminders
- Caregivers can help ensure clients take their medication as prescribed by providing medication reminders. They can open medication containers, read in-home care plans and prescription labels, and remind the client when it is time for the next dose.
